The IGO Worldwide Board of Directors is comprised of a cross-section of Christian men and women — the professional person, the homemaker, the business owner, the retired — who have their own stake in worldwide missions. The Lord has brought together a group of down-to-earth people with a God/World perspective. Their blend of abilities and grace set the tone from its inception. IGO is dedicated to keep that distinctive even as missionary opportunities increase.
The Board, serving without compensation, is responsible for establishing broad corporate policy. They are an active body, meeting at least twice a year. In addition, each member serves on one of three Standing Committees (Committee on Directors, Committee on Administration & Finance, and Audit Committee).
Each person serving in some administrative role or strategic ministry must abide by our statement of faith. The statement of faith is historically fundamental, thoroughly conservative and unashamedly evangelical. All must comply with our overall objective, that of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the end that people are converted and discipled in the Scriptures.
