Mission, Vision and Values
Through the years, the statements of IGSL's mission, vision, values, etc. have been fine-tuned to provide more clarity and direction for us as we serve here.

Our success in seeing our vision become reality is dependent on our resolve, as a faculty team, to intentionally strive toward these goals together.
