History

The history of the ICT community traces its roots back to university students that attended the University of Arizona in the 1960s. Since then, it has grown to encompass thousands of community members from converts to multi-generational families to young upstarts and more. The center serves as a place of worship, a place of gathering, a hub for community events, interfaith dialogue, and a cultural resource.
