O iCalvinus é o sistema oficial da Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil e atualmente é composto por 4 módulos, a saber iCalvinus, iCalvinus Sínodo, iCalvinus Presbitério e iCalvinus Igreja. Seu objetivo principal é automatizar, e com isso agilizar, as reuniões da Comissão Executiva e Supremo Concílio da IPB. Desde 2010, quando iniciamos o uso, as reuniões estão armazenadas e disponíveis para consulta de documentos, resoluções e atas. O aplicativo iCalvinus também conta com preciosas ferramentas como o Digesto Presbiteriano onde é possível buscar diversas resoluções da IPB, o Anuário da IPB que disponibiliza dados cadastrais de Igrejas, Pastores, Concílios e Órgãos, Bíblia, Hinário e também as novas funcionalidades visando ainda mais agilidade durante as reuniões da CE e SC através da comunicação direta com os membros e facilidade nos processos de presença e votação ao longo das reuniões. As totalizações e os dados apresentados no iCalvinus são baseados nos dados cadastrados e obtidos pela SE-SC/IPB.
