What IGREJA CASA DE ORAÇÃO PARA TODAS AS NAÇÕES does

IGREJA CASA DE ORAÇÃO PARA TODAS AS NAÇÕES, operating under the brand "ICO Contagem," is a Christian religious organization founded on August 18, 1996, headquartered at Rua Padre Rossini Cândido 172, Contagem, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The church is part of the larger Ministério Casa de Oração para Todas as Nações network, which maintains presence across multiple Brazilian states. It is led by founding pastor Eliatan de Paula Oliveira alongside pastors Cleunir Maia (since 2005), André Cunha (since 2015), and Felipe Safar (since 2019), with Presbítero Luíz Alberto Silva serving in an elder role.

The church operates a digital ministry platform built on a website (icocontagem.com), an iOS/Android mobile application (app code 6141E6B569D62), and a YouTube live streaming channel. Core service offerings include weekly live worship broadcasts (Wednesdays at 8PM, Sundays at 10AM and 6PM), an online prayer request submission form, an online Bible reading tool with multiple translations, an events and worship service scheduling system, a membership registration form, and an online tithing/donation system. The church also runs the Bartimeu community outreach project serving people experiencing homelessness through programs such as community breakfasts.

The organization's business model is non-commercial: worship services are free and open to the public, and revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary member tithes and donations, including via the digital contribution platform. It employs 16 staff and serves two primary segments — a general community seeking spiritual connection and worship, and vulnerable populations reached through social outreach. There are no external investors, parent companies, subsidiaries, or disclosed funding rounds; the entity operates as an independent religious organization within its parent ministry network.
