Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Days of Praise
Days of Praise is a quarterly devotional offered free of charge as part of our ministry. Each daily excerpt blends excellent biblical analysis with scientific insights to strengthen and encourage Christians in their relationship with God and His Word.
Acts & Facts
Acts & Facts is a monthly science news magazine offered free of charge as part of our ministry. It includes updates on the ongoing research conducted by ICR scientists, reports on the scientific evidence for special creation, and how science affirms the biblical account of origins.
Science Research
With expertise in genetics, geology, biology, paleobiochemistry, biotechnology, anatomy, climatology, engineering, medicine, zoology, and nuclear physics, ICR scientists have uncovered a wealth of evidence that supports the Bible, including the Genesis account of creation and the global Flood.
School of Biblical Apologetics
ICR's School of Biblical Apologetics provides certificate-level, undergraduate-level, and graduate-level training in biblical education and apologetics. SOBA’s foundation is Scripture, which the school and its faculty hold as inerrant, accurate, and authoritative. Biblical creation, with a special emphasis on Genesis 1-11, is a significant focus of all SOBA degrees, majors, and minors. This focus sets ICR’s program apart from other graduate-level apologetic programs.
Fulfilling the purpose of training future leaders in biblical education and apologetics, while maintaining a strict adherence to Scripture (including biblical creationist appreciation of Genesis 1-11), makes SOBA the best choice for those desiring to round out their biblical education. SOBA prepares its students with defensible answers for their faith, giving them the tools necessary to “be ready always to give an answer” for the hope within (1 Peter 3:15) and to “earnestly contend for the faith” (Jude 1:3).
Digital Media
Today there are more ways to communicate than ever before, so we assembled a Digital Media Department to explore the best new avenues for sharing ICR’s pioneering research. The department’s talented staff uses contemporary platforms and technology to make creation science accessible to everyone. Our team produces documentaries, audio and video podcasts, email newsletters, social media and promotional content, and more.
ICR Discovery Center
The ICR Discovery Center opened September 2019 in Dallas, Texas. Discover how science confirms the Bible in stunning planetarium shows, state-of-the-art exhibits, and live science presentations. Encounter solid evidence that expands your mind and builds your faith.
