”Defending the faith by demonstrating its reality”

Chaplaincy is recognized by the U.S. government as a "relevant" and "essential" part of its representation of the people.

This "Ministry of Presence" actively occupies positions in the military, hospitals, universities and countless public service and community organizations. They also play important roles in many government and state legislative bodies.

Our Mandate is Clear

The primary job of a church minister is to meet the needs of those within the church body. Chaplains take the Kingdom of God outside of church walls and into venues not traditionally reached with the love of God expressed through practical ministry. ICT provides vocational training to help believers from virtually every denomination accomplish that work.

ICT was birthed in a local church in 2005. Today we operate as an autonomous non-profit organization firmly founded on the Christian faith.
Our chaplains are trained in crisis and trauma management, grief and loss support, first response counseling, needs assessment and resource matching, cultural diversity, and practical administrative skills based on the faith statements in the Nicene (Apostles) Creed.

The first focus of Jesus' ministry was to meet the people where they were. As ICT chaplains learn to minister the way Jesus did by simply meeting needs around us, we are able to teach and impart spiritual truth through the relationships that were formed.

This is the heart of the Chaplaincy Training Program at ICT. We must meet individuals where they are, accept them for who they are, meet their needs and make use of every opportunity to share the truth of God's love with them.

Whether you want to pursue a career in chaplaincy or just learn how to be a more effective witness for Christ in your everyday life, the training available at ICT could prove invaluable to you.
