The Institute for Congregational Development (ICD) seeks to create a pool of prepared ministers to lead our Conference in missional growth. This two-year intensive process provides support, professional growth, and leadership training in order to prepare clergy to start new churches and redevelop existing churches within the Northern Illinois Conference.
