Inter-School Christian Fellowship

Inter-School Christian Fellowship (ISCF) or Inter-Scholastic Christian Fellowship is a Christian youth ministry that works with students within high schools. ISCF groups are often supported by external evangelical Christian organisations and churches - examples including the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students, the Scripture Union, and local churches.[1][2] ISCF operates in countries including Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Philippines and the United States of America.

ISCF groups are often voluntarily led by senior students[3] and usually have the support and guidance of an older mentor, youth pastor, or a patron teacher.[4] ISCF groups mainly meet during lunchtime.
