Intensive Care Ministries

Training pastors around the world to study, teach, and live God’s Word through Inductive Bible Study.
Equipping Pastors Worldwide with the Power of God’s Word

Intensive Care Ministries (ICM) began in 1985 when Pastor Dan Finfrock, after serving at Calvary Chapel Banning (now Calvary Chapel Beaumont), moved his family to the Philippines to begin a new ministry. There, he developed and began teaching Inductive Bible Study (IBS) — a method designed to help pastors and ministry leaders study, understand, and teach the Bible directly and accurately.

Today, ICM’s IBS training materials have been translated into 55 languages and taught in 55 countries around the world. The largest impact is currently in Africa, where there are 8 active Bible schools for pastors across Tanzania, Sudan, and Kenya, with more launching soon — including a new school in Liberia. Hundreds of pastors have completed this training, transforming the way they teach God’s Word and equipping them to lead their churches with biblical truth.
