About Us — The ICAN Family

Welcome to the ICAN Community Church — a Kingdom movement committed to raising leaders, building families, transforming communities, and empowering people to walk in purpose. We believe church is more than a Sunday gathering; it is a Kingdom ecosystem designed to help people encounter Christ personally, renew their minds through teaching, discover their gifts, and become impactful leaders in every sphere of life. Through worship, discipleship, outreach, fellowship, and leadership development, our mission is to create an environment where people can grow spiritually while developing the confidence and practical tools needed to influence the world around them.

At ICAN, we believe every believer carries purpose, potential, and a Kingdom assignment. Our calling is not simply to gather crowds, but to raise disciples, thinkers, builders, servants, and Kingdom citizens who live with conviction and vision. Through our branches, hubs, Bible studies, prayer movements, outreach initiatives, and leadership structures, we intentionally create pathways for people to learn, serve, teach, lead, and develop. Whether someone is discovering faith for the first time or stepping into leadership, we are passionate about helping individuals find their place within the house and grow into who God has called them to be.

The ICAN Family is built on community, empowerment, and Kingdom culture. We believe healthy churches raise healthy leaders, and healthy leaders transform communities. Our vision is to build a movement where people are inspired to encounter God deeply, develop spiritually, support one another genuinely, and impact society boldly. From the platform to the prayer room, from worship to enterprise, from outreach to discipleship, everything we do is centred around building people and advancing the Kingdom of God with excellence, integrity, and vision.

Reuben Malcolm

CEO of ICAN Community Church

Reuben Malcolm is the CEO of ICAN Community Church, bringing together a unique blend of Kingdom leadership, entrepreneurship, systems thinking, and creative innovation. With a background rooted in consultation, branding, e-commerce, and digital infrastructure, Reuben has spent years developing solutions, building platforms, and helping organisations adapt and grow in rapidly changing environments. Yet beyond business and strategy, his life has always been deeply connected to ministry and the local church. Born and raised within the church, Reuben’s journey has been shaped by both faith and firsthand exposure to leadership. Dedicated as a child by Nathaniel Urshan, he grew up as what many would call a “pastor’s kid,” navigating the realities of sharing family life with the wider church community. Through those experiences came a deeper understanding of both the beauty and the pressures of ministry. Watching the sacrifices, responsibilities, and spiritual burdens carried by church leaders — particularly bishops and pastors — developed within him a genuine passion for protecting leaders, strengthening structures, and helping churches operate in healthier, more sustainable ways. In 2020, as the world entered a global pandemic and churches were forced to close physical locations, Reuben stepped into a critical behind-the-scenes role within the ministry. Drawing from his experience in website development, systems building, digital infrastructure, and online commerce, he became part of the solutions-focused team helping move ministry operations into the digital space. During this period, he joined the Board of Trustees and worked closely on helping structure systems, communication, online experiences, and operational strategy during one of the most challenging periods churches had faced in modern history. In 2023, following the release of Bishop Wayne Malcolm’s renewed vision for the future of the ministry, Reuben was asked to step into the role of CEO. Since then, he has helped oversee strategic growth, operational development, leadership systems, digital transformation, and the ongoing expansion of the ICAN Family vision. His leadership philosophy centres around empowerment, structure, innovation, discipleship, and creating environments where people can genuinely grow, lead, and flourish. For Reuben, ministry is not simply about hosting services — it is about building people, developing leaders, strengthening communities, and creating systems that allow vision to thrive long-term. He believes the church should not only provide spiritual encounters, but also practical transformation, sustainable leadership development, and real impact within society. While the journey has come with responsibility, sacrifice, and pressure, he remains passionate about serving the vision faithfully and helping carry it forward alongside a committed team of leaders, builders, and Kingdom-minded individuals.

Pastor David Springer

ND of Pastoral Care

Pastor David DaCosta Springer, affectionately known as “Pastor Dee,” is part of the pastoral team. He is especially passionate about mentoring the next generation of ministers and leaders, helping them mature in ministry. He believes in building meaningful relationships within the church community, cultivating both their relationship with Christ and with one another. Training is central to his ministry. Alongside his pastoral colleagues, he runs workshops that guide ministers through various aspects of ministerial life, including what it means to care for others as well as themselves. One example of this practical training is the weekday prayer line. Following workshops that explored both the reasoning and practicalities of hosting an early morning 30-minute prayer meeting, those involved have become increasingly skilled and confident in leading prayer. In addition to pastoral ministry, Pastor Dee is a seasoned graphic designer. He uses his expertise and knowledge to support and mentor first-time authors, helping them move from a raw idea to holding a physical book in their hands. How long you have been in ministry: Pastor Dee began his ministerial journey roughly a year after giving his life to the Lord on Sunday, 29 October 1989. He initially started as a small group leader, where he witnessed tremendous growth, expanding the group from 7 members to over 30. Gratitude towards Christ has been a driving force in his life, leading him to serve faithfully in many areas of church life — from cleaning and setting up, to greeting and stewarding, to name just a few. In terms of formal ministry, he began as an exhorter (minister in training), progressed to minister, and became Pastor David Springer in 1996. He has faithfully served as a Senior Pastor since 2000, giving him over 30 years of ministry experience. He attributes his leadership style to his mentor in ministry, Bishop Wayne Malcolm, also known as “The Business Bishop.” He also credits his late parents for shaping his strong work ethic and sense of humour. Every home or hospital visit, and every design project he undertakes, reflects his commitment to excellence in both the pastoral and graphic design spheres. A brief sense of your calling, passion, or focus within the Kingdom: Pastor Dee has a deep passion for helping people discover their purpose, peace, and identity in Jesus Christ. His ministry is marked by warm, encouraging leadership and a commitment to developing others spiritually and practically, helping individuals bring their God-given potential and creativity to life.

Pastor Donovan Benjamin

ND of Discipleship, MOD Team Leader

After a very challenging and stressful childhood because of a strict and abusive father, I spent a lot of years getting into violent situations on the streets of Peckham South London. Until one day in 1995, I had reached rock bottom and cried out to Jesus. He answered my prayer immediately and proved to me that He had my back! I never doubted the existence of God but put Him to the back of my mind throughout all my madness. On this day, God made it clear that He had His hand on me from the beginning and I had been called for a purpose. In 2016 I was ordained as a Pastor and on the 7th April 2018 I started a church in Peckham South London. The main focus of the church was to reach out to the young people currently engaged in crime, drugs and gang violence. I have since moved on and joined the pastoral team at ICAN and am currently leading a men’s hub called Men of Destiny, focused on building, equipping, and restoring fathers and sons to walk in purpose, identity, and godly leadership.
