Welcome to the International College for Officers (ICO) nestled in the beautiful, tasteful and pleasant Sunbury Court. The Salvation Army is a global movement, and our ICO participants reflect a dynamic global community.

The ICO believes firmly in the benefits of leadership development. Hence its curriculum is carefully designed to create opportunities to explore a variety of subjects that are topical in the 21st Century and those meant to enhance personal holiness, leadership of self, capability building and world missions within various cultures. The ICO form of learning is transformative, experiential and self-directed.

The ICO setting is conducive to provide to each officer delegate both spiritual and personal reflection, physical rest and refreshment. It is also a space to acknowledge each officer’s commitment to serve the Risen Christ with integrity, value their covenant life and to honour God for his calling on their life to serve him. It is a space to slow down and experience renewal of hearts and souls. It is a space to emerge with new capabilities for effective ministry.

It is our sincere prayer that you will be inspired by the heart of the mission of ICO as shared through this website.

May God richly bless you.

Principal of the ICO
