Purpose
ICM exists in order to serve the church by discipling and equipping its leaders.

Vision
ICM envisions a future where a mature African Church leads the global Church in fulfilling the Great Commission through the practical application of the Great Commandment.  

Values
Values lie at the heart of what brings people together in order to accomplish a common aim or task. People join with others who share and are motivated by the same values. Values drive behavior, both of individuals, and organizations. While all believers and Christian organizations hold to certain common values, ministries have a set of core values that drive organizational behavior. ICM's core values are:

Love God                                                             Love One Another

Integrity                                                                Empowerment

Innovation                                                            Servanthood

Teamwork                                                            Trust

Mission Commitment                                        Continuous Improvement

Commitments
Closely associated with core values are core commitments. An organization's commitments are those unique characteristics that set the organization apart from other organizations doing similar work. Core commitments describe the way the organization looks as it lives out and acts upon its core values in pursuit of its purpose and vision. While core values have more to do with individual behavior, an organization's core commitments reflect the particular way the institution operates in pursuit of its mission. ICM's core commitments are:
