International Chapel Ministries (ICM) is a Protestant, evangelical group begun in 1981, through the work of Jim and Barbara Blocksom.
International Chapel has churches in two locations: Kyotanabe City (Kyoto Prefecture) and Ikoma City (Nara Prefecture). The Chapels now have an average attendance of over 300 each week, over one-third of which are not yet Christians. We have over a dozen staff workers and pastoral staff.
Each Chapel is bilingual. The music and messages of each service are in both English and Japanese, creating a warm, friendly environment for both English and Japanese speakers, as well as providing a bilingual environment for those who wish to improve their language skills.
Our goal here at ICM is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with both Japanese and people from
overseas, train them to be vital Christians and teach how to share in spreading the good news to
the people around them. Here at ICM, we train workers to become leaders, evangelists, preachers
and teachers in the church.
