Overview

The International Service Corps (ISC) is a fully-funded, 2–3 year missionary pathway for individuals 21 and older who sense a call to missions but are not yet ready for long-term career service. ISC missionaries serve as active members of IMB church planting teams sharing Christ, filling vital support roles that keep the broader missionary enterprise moving. From teaching in international schools to media, logistics, IT, and finance, ISC missionaries bring their unique skills to the field and make a meaningful gospel impact. No college degree or seminary credits are required.

Why This Pathway?

  • Serve as a fully-funded member of an IMB missionary team for 2–3 years
  • Leverage your unique skills for gospel impact in some of the world’s least-reached places
  • No college degree or seminary credits required
  • Open to singles, couples, and young families, with no upper age limit beyond the minimum of 21

What You’ll Do

  • Serve alongside career missionaries on an IMB church planting team sharing Christ in an international setting
  • Share the gospel and contribute to the team’s broader evangelism and church planting efforts
  • Attend an Interview Conference in Richmond, VA to explore open assignments and find the right fit. Note that attendees cover half of their travel costs.
  • Complete a seven-week training session in Richmond before departing for your overseas assignment
