So, what is your worship service like?"

Happy! Celebrative! Relaxed! Warm! Awesome! These are some of the words that come to mind. We like to describe it as informal, but well-planned – carried out with excellence, dignity, and sensitivity. You will hear God’s Word applied to everyday life.
How many people attend IBC?

The church is continually growing, but currently, attendance is around 200-250.
What do you believe?

Summarized briefly, We believe that God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one God who created all things. We believe that God came to the earth as a man, Jesus Christ, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and returned to heaven. We believe that God can make us new and The Bible is God’s Word to us. It tells us about him and teaches us how to live.
