The ministry focuses on providing support to its members and the community through various departments and subsidiaries.

The IAC's support offices are based in the United States of America, in Florida and Oregon, serving members on six continents, with over forty creation science museums in the United States, Canada, Western Europe, and South Africa.

==History==

''The International Association For Creation'' began as ''Let Creation Sing'' which established ''The Creation Science Alliance'' that purposed to unify the various creation ministries across the Untied States of America and around the globe. Since beginning in 2012, the ministry has grown from praying for a few creation science museums who needed intercession, to providing full-fledged member services and outreach initiatives for members on six continents.

In 2016, Let Creation Sing and its subsidiaries were transitioned to The International Association For Creation which is now equipped with additional leadership talent and a greater depth of combined experience from the creation science community.
