A chapter starts when a Chapter Sponsor steps forward.
It takes someone very special, very daring. Sponsors see potential and are willing to invest themselves to see it materialize.
Chapter Sponsors are the representatives and mentors of the Institute for Cultural Communicators.
Their vision is to empower next-generation Christian parents and students in their local community group, an ICC chapter, to influence today’s culture.
