Our Mission Statement. To present the exciting and complete Gospel of Jesus Christ to internationals in such a way that turns non-Christians into believers, believers into disciples, and discipiles into mature, fruitful servants who will in turn go into the world and reach others for Christ.

The History of ICCSD. ICCSD was first formed in 1999 with a focus on meeting the needs of internationals in San Diego. Through the grace of God ICCSD was able to become one of the first Christian organizations in the country to focus exclusively on the international community as well as being run by an international community.
