ICM
A caring presence in America’s places of work
As a Christian ecumenical ministry, ICM has been equipping and placing volunteers to serve as chaplains in the marketplace since 1972.
Workplace Chaplaincy
ICM equips clergy and laity to serve as chaplains where people perform their daily labor. We seek to nurture faith and hope and to minister to the needs of all people in today’s workplace environment.
As a compassionate outreach of the church, our chaplains strive to embody the love of God in the marketplace. They offer a supportive presence, lend a listening ear, and provide effective referrals to those in need. As they are invited, ICM chaplains serve people of all faith backgrounds, including those who claim no particular faith.
Why Have Chaplains at Work?
Chaplains in the workplace help create an environment where people are more fully seen and cared for. As we know, the stresses of life are not easily contained. Family strife, substance abuse, loneliness, financial concerns, illness, and other challenges naturally follow employees to work. Chaplains provide real help and support for difficulties such as these. Their engaged presence is also a very tangible way that employers themselves can demonstrate care for their workers.
ICM Workplace Chaplains serve large or small businesses, industrial and manufacturing sites, and places of commerce. Public Safety Chaplains serve with police, rescue and fire departments.
ICM chaplain interactions are confidential and services are always offered free of charge.
