$About ICOF Global Welcome to International Coalition of Fellowships (ICOF) a 21st century movement of Christian promoting UNITY of purpose around the world working together to provide quality education to Christians who cannot afford traditional career development approaches for acquiring professional skills which can be used in government and private sector jobs in Africa and around the world. Yes, our parent organization was established in United States in 1932 whose vision we follow but we are independent under the vision of ICOF Africa. We currently are operating in over 37 Countries providing career development at the community level. Details of programs are provided in all our National and International websites, Take time to look at our Online, full time and Distance courses ranging from Certificate all the way to PhD. The online courses are offered in the comfort of your home or office without setting foot on campus! The tradition at ICOF is to provide our students with a quality Online and Distance education at an affordable price. Both our faculty and staff endeavor to serve our students and offer them the education they so earnestly seek. In a world of rising costs, our students enjoy the benefits of a truly online and distance learning experience in education at only a fraction of the cost of a traditional campus setting. Our innovative approach and flexibility of schedule along with our global presence distinguishes ICOF as a leader in Distance Learning. Through our Distance Education Network (DEN) we employ and maintain a multitude of communication methods whereby a student may obtain a quality education in the convenience of the student's home, office or any other convenient location. For new students we provide a 14 days Residency Program each semester so that students can get to know each other and introduced to online teaching methodologies. At ICOF, our students enjoy most or all of the traditional student services afforded on a campus while maintaining their normal work and family relationships. Our students enjoy and profit from the one-on-one and group online discussions, as well as the open door policy which affords them the opportunity to ask questions of the faculty and instructors when the need arises, With ICOF our students are never alone. ICOF Departments The following are department established by constitution of ICOF to reach out to Christians around the world: ICOF Colleges Seminary and Universities This is the department is responsible for education which run and manages ICOF Campuses around the world. ICOF-CSU work with partner Colleges and Universities under Joint academic faculty and provide accredited learning Programs. ICOF Ministers Association International ICOF Ministers Association International is a Global pastors network promoting the unity of purpose among ministers of God whose vision develop personal relationships among pastors without looking at doctrinal differences between various Christian churches and ministries but work together as one family in Jesus Christ, reflecting Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer in John Chapter 17 where He prayed that we all might be one even as He and the Father are One. From our beginnings in 1932 to the present the International Coalition Fellowships through this department has grown from a network of 15 Church memberships to a Global Ministers Association of like-minded men and women of God coming from local, national and international churches. We have grown from just a few Ministers to a very large Ministers Association with more than 90,000 ministers, impacting every nation through equipping leadership and promoting oneness among Christians. Today, ICOF is represented globally and works with national ministers associations and governments in delivering training and social services in partnership with local churches and various other kinds of ministries. The ICOF Ministers Association International as a Global Network continues to equip Christians through the promotion of unity among Christian leaders and by ensuring that Ministers who are members of ICOF are honest, faithful, with good morals and that their integrity is above reproach and that they are committed members of their local churches or ministries. The ICOF Ministers Association International does not promote division among churches and ministers. Breakaway churches are not accepted into ICOF unless a clearance letter is issued by the parent church or organization and verification is done by our National Secretariat. Instead, we focus on conflict resolution, both between individuals and organizations in order to better serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We encourage you to join with us, hand in hand, so that the Lord might be glorified and His Kingdom be moved forward until He returns in glory for more information please contact us on ministers@icofusa.org or our International office on ministers@icofusa.net International Ordination Certificate ICOF Ministers Association International issue ordination certificates to already ordained Ministers dating back retroactively to their first ordination which acts as a membership certificate and its renewed annually.
