02 Activities

What the charity does

ICS is an international Church of England mission & patronage agency to English-speakers who find themselves living, studying, working or holidaying away from home in countries where English is not the main language. We do this by planting & growing international churches and by outreach to tourists through our Resort Chaplaincies. Our strapline is 'Mission and Ministry in English for Everyone'.
