International Service Corps

To the ends of the earth . . . on mission with God

[ Qualifications ] [ Forum ]

The International Service Corps or ISC program began in 1990 to provide an opportunity for Southern Baptists to serve alongside career missionaries in a variety of assignments all around the world. Singles, couples and young families who are willing to accept an assignment from two to three years are making an eternal impact on an ever-changing world.

The Journeyman program served as the model for the newly created ISC Program. The remodeling project of some old programs upgraded the screening capabilities for a major segment of our SBC family to serve in overseas assignments.

  • Emotional, physical and spiritual health
