Dear friends,

Welcome to the IBF website. We are a fellowship of Bible-believing preachers that are called to proclaim the whole counsel of God.  We meet three times a year to promote fellowship and encourage faithfulness among brethren of like precious faith. We reject modernism, post-modernism, ecumenicism and neo-evangelicalism.

  Our goal as independent Baptists is to preserve the glorious tenets of the historical Christian faith through preaching, promoting sound Biblical education and literature. We do not believe that truth is relative or evolving, but rather it is absolute and the local church is to be the pillar and ground of that truth as stated in 1 Timothy 3:15. We use the King James Bible in all our conferences. We also endeavor to create a network of local churches whose pastors agree with our stated purpose.

  While we are not a missionary sending agency each individual local church is encouraged to support missions on a global scale.

  If you are a pastor, evangelist, church planting missionary or a layman who is seeking a fellowship that believes in the authority of the Word of God, that Christians ought to love one another without dissimulation, and that we should separate from evil social practices as well as apostate religion I heartily invite you into our fellowship. There will be ministry events specially prepared for each member of your family. Many good things have come out of the IBF conferences. I urge you to come and experience the blessing for yourself.

For the faith,

Pastor Timothy Crawford

IBF-Moderator.
