ICS is an international
Church of England mission agency: we make known the good news of Jesus
Christ to people of any nationality who speak English and who live, study,
work or holiday in countries where English is not the main language. In
continental Europe ICS's ministry also touches the lives of increasing
numbers of local people who speak English. We are also an Anglican
patronage society, recruiting ministers to serve in many of the international
Anglican churches we partner, and whose buildings we often own. We work
mainly in continental Europe and around the Mediterranean and are funded
entirely by donations from individuals, churches and trusts that share
our aims.
