Intercontinental Church Society
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Intercontinental Church Society works to advance the Christian Gospel among English-speaking people around the world, through church planting, chaplaincy and tourist outreach, so a Christian mission project with those aims is the closest fit.
- Its recorded grants to institutions total £32,847, and no grant range is stated, so a modest first request is a safer starting point than an amount the society has not named.
- No application process is published in its annual report, on its website or in its register entry, so the sensible first step is to contact the society using the contact shown and ask how it prefers to be approached.
- Neither its annual report nor its website says how competitive it is or when it makes decisions, so do not assume a deadline.
