A Fellowship for Church Leadership

The International Bishops' Conference, Inc. USA (IBC USA) was originally founded to identify, train, and credential individuals called to the episcopate. From the beginning, the fellowship sought to recognize fellow laborers whose Christian core values and beliefs were consistent with the convictions of IBC USA, without regard to denomination.

That original mission remains central. At the same time, the scope of our service has expanded. IBC USA now serves the broader upper tiers of church leadership — offering the same fellowship, training, credentialing, and ecclesiastical support to leaders who help shape the life, order, and direction of the Church.

We believe that when church leadership is strengthened, the Church itself is strengthened. IBC USA is committed to supporting the chancel and leadership structure of the Church, ultimately reinforcing the whole body of Christ for healthy ministry, sound doctrine, spiritual accountability, and Kingdom service.

"The calling to the bishopric is a calling to selflessness."
