This is our main emphasis. A denominational organization desires certain information and contacts ICM to conduct research. We first dialog together to determine what research design will best meet the clients’ needs. This involves deciding what information is needed and from what source it is to be collected. ICM will then suggest questions that would obtain the desired information. A research design would specify the population to be surveyed, the sample size, the best method of surveying (mail, phone, or internet), and the number of follow-up procedures. Together with the client, we decide on the type of analysis and the nature of the research report. We will not proceed until the client is satisfied with each point.

As to cost, we charge by the number of hours invested. In addition, there are expenses for printing, postage, stationery and envelopes, and other miscellaneous supplies.

ICM offers a series of training/resources geared toward the flourishing of churches, organizations, families, and individuals offered by its sub-entities NCD America and Life Renewal. Click here to explore the available training/resources that meet your needs.

The Institute of Church Ministry (ICM) can prepare documents, including books, as requested. See our section on past accomplishments. This also includes editing documents.

Institute of Church Ministry (ICM) personnel are available to consult on topics where we have expertise, either by traveling to the client’s site or by phone conferences.

Much of the work at ICM is done by students under the supervision of the director. The Institute of Church Ministry is fortunate to employ the expertise of seminary students as they are working on their master’s and doctoral degrees. This work provides valuable experience for these students in the church’s mission. At ICM, the mission has the top emphasis. Over the past thirty years, many of our students have gone on to be successful pastors, Religion professors, and administrators.
