About

ICRTS is an online independent non-denominational Christian research center. We seek to collaborate with scholars, educators, religious leaders, and other experts & professionals to provide quality research in cultural, religious, and theological studies. ICRTS exists to be an educational resource for both the academic and popular cultural spheres. We aim to do this by providing both free and paid resources that will aid ICRTS in its overall mission.

Mission

The mission of ICRTS is two-fold:

1) Promote general awareness and advance knowledge, understanding, and dialogue on the cultural, religious, and theological dimensions of human life.

2) Provide aid to Christian churches and organizations in organizational & leadership development, and training in cultural, religious, and theological studies.

Values

ICRTS is inherently Christian. This means that while we seek to collaborate cross-culturally and with people of diverse backgrounds, it is one of our highest priorities to maintain our distinct Christian identity and values.

As a Christian institute, ICRTS believes that all truth is essentially God's truth. We believe that the cultural, religious, and theological dimensions of human life are based on the ontological reality of God and His cosmological creation, thus, our driving motto:

"Rediscovering God's World"

ICRTS welcomes research from other worldview perspectives and healthy debate, but will not tolerate any research that is hostile or promotes any aggressive negativity toward other worldviews or the people that hold to them. All worldviews (including the Christian worldview) represented within any research (as well as the research itself) will be evaluated for objectivity and tone toward promoting healthy and safe dialogue and advancement of knowledge.
