ROOTED IN TRUTH

What We Believe

We joyfully affirm the essential doctrines of the Christian faith as summarized in the Baptist Faith & Message (2000). Here are some of our core beliefs:

Salvation

Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. He died for our sins and rose again, offering eternal life to all who believe.

Jesus Christ

Jesus is fully God and fully man, the only way to the Father. He will return one day to judge the living and the dead.

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God. It is our final authority for faith and practice.

Baptism & Church

We practice believer’s baptism by immersion. The local church is a covenant community of baptized believers committed to one another and to the Great Commission.

The Church

We are committed to sound doctrine, loving community, prayer, and making disciples who make disciples.

Missions

Every Christian is called to share the Gospel. We have a special focus on reaching international students and unreached people groups.

A lighthouse church — lighting the way for the nations

OUR HEART

Who We Are & Where We’re Going

“IBF strives to be a funnel of blessings to the world around us and not a bucket of blessings!”

Here at International Baptist Fellowship we are all about loving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with all that is within us and loving outwardly to those around us.

Matthew 5:14-16 — “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
