He was also the pastor of Philadelphia's Tenth Presbyterian Church from 1968 to 2000. Under Boice's leadership and teaching of Christian beliefs, Tenth Presbyterian Church came to be seen as a model for ministry in America's northeastern inner cities, offering a range of classes, fellowship groups, and specialised outreach ministries to the physically sick, women in crisis, and the homeless. In 1983, he founded City Center Academy (now The City School), a college-preparatory Christian school primarily serving minority residents of the church's neighborhood. Boice was active in a number of initiatives beyond Tenth Street Presbyterian. He served as Chairman of the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy (ICBI) from its founding in 1977 until the completion of its work in 1988. ICBI produced three creedal documents, published books, conducted "Authority of Scripture" seminars, and sponsored the large lay "Congress on the Bible I," which met in Washington, D.C., in September 1987.
