The International Churches of Christ, is a body of co-operating religiously conservative, and racially integrated〔 Christian congregations. Beginning with 30 members in 1979 they grew to 19,172 members within the first 10 years. Currently they are numbered at more than 105,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About The ICOC )〕 A formal break was made from the mainline Churches of Christ in 1993 with the organization of the International Churches of Christ.〔Douglas Allen Foster and Anthony L. Dunnavant, ''The Encyclopedia of the Stone-Campbell Movement: Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Christian Churches/Churches of Christ, Churches of Christ'', Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 2004, ISBN 0-8028-3898-7, ISBN 978-0-8028-3898-8, 854 pages, entry on ''International Churches of Christ''〕 The ICOC believes that the whole Bible is the inspired Word of God and that each person is saved by the grace of God, if and when they place their faith in and become a disciple of Jesus Christ, repent and are baptized.〔(''Beliefs'' ), Columbia Church of Christ (website ) (accessed 24 December 2013)〕
It is a family or network of over 650 churches spread across some 155 nations, they consider themselves non-denominational.〔 The network structure is intended to avoid two extremes: "overly centralized authority" on the one side and "disconnected autonomy" on the other side.〔 The organization of the ICOC has been described as based on cooperation between congregations.〔Justin Renton, ("Autonomy? No way! Glorious co-operation between the ICOC churches," ) ''ICOC HotNews'', 9 August 2010 (accessed 16 November 2013)〕 The largest congregation, the Los Angeles Church of Christ, has over 6000 members.〔 The largest church service was held in 2012 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, during a World Discipleship Summit, with 17,800 in attendance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=San Antonio Summit Simply Amazing! )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2012 WDS - A Defining Moment for the International Churches of Christ )〕
