His successor as part-time Director was the Rev. Scott Campbell, who moved the official office to Cambridge, Massachusette.
The Rev. Karl Reko operated out of Chicago as the last official director of NIC.

An annual Directory of International Congregations was once published annually, listing churches related to the NIC. The Directory has been replaced by the web site of which this page is a part.
