VIRTUAL CAMPUS COHORTS

ICCM Bible Institute is excited to announce the launch of its new virtual campus cohorts. Our virtual campuses are designed to complement the local church. Our virtual campus cohorts will provide students the opportunity to enroll in class from anywhere in the world.

Our satellite campus system will complement our virtual online campuses in convenient locations across the country, making it easy for our students to get the education they need to further their careers in ministry while also enjoying a hybrid community of academic fellowship and studies.

With these new campuses, ICCM Bible Institute is poised to provide a superior educational experience to its students in the tradition of excellence in Christian training.

The ICCM Bible Institute has partnered with churches across the globe to provide graduate and post-graduate level education classes on-site at campus locations convenient to learners.

Our virtual cohorts provide a unique opportunity for students to take classes near them, and for the participating churches to grow their leaders from within.

Those churches benefit from preparing candidates for effective ministry through ICCM’s array of studies. Each campus cohort is encouraged to facilitate a minimum of 24 students per semester.

Dr. H. Michael Chitwood, ICCM Bible Institute Chancellor, said, “Every student deserves an opportunity to be the best he or she can be and we’ve found that those students who take the opportunity to become a part of our student body go on to become great leaders because of the confidence and competencies they gain through their academic success at ICCM Bible Institute”.

FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR

My journey is in the pursuit of God and the truths of Scripture. The Holy Spirit has brought me through the fires of awakening, yet I have seen so much more that could be done in the local church and for the Kingdom with trained leadership.

“An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” (Proverbs 18:15)
My roots are deep in sound theology. I have earned Doctors’ Degrees, and have my sails up in the Spirit.
Under my decades of ministry, my churches have exploded into new realms of renewal and spiritual awakening. I have served on many boards and committees. I have reached around the world with a powerful message of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit as a sought-after conference and crusade speaker, both nationally and internationally. I believe that all my life experiences have prepared me for this opportunity.

ICCM BIBLE INSTITUTE will set a solid foundation of trained leadership for any church at any level and provide proven Christian business principles.

We are prepared to partner with you for a greater future!
