 Welcome to ITC:

 
We are happy that you’ll be joining us this coming semester for 2022!
You’ll be joining the legacy of COGOP California’s Bible Institute: INTECA (Institute for Theological Capacitation), founded in the year 2000 by a group of ministers and pastors in the state of California striving to biblically equip our present and future leaders. Over the last 20 years, INTECA expanded throughout California (Spanish Speaking community) and Central America. We are now relaunching INTECA for the English speaking community as the Institute for Theological Capacitation. ITC serves as an introduction and foundation for biblical, theological, and ministerial training equipping those who desire to grow in their faith & in their calling towards ministry; whether it be lay minister, pastor, or local church leader. We pray ITC not only continues
INTECA’s legacy but that it’s fruits continue in you; to biblically equip YOU for the harvest of God’s Kingdom.
