IBC is a church that is all about real people, bringing real glory to a real God who is great and awesome! IBC is not about religion or being religious. We are people just like you, with experiences and backgrounds just like yours. We are your neighbors, your co-workers, and the person you run into at the post office. No matter where life’s journey has taken you, or where you are on that road, you will discover that IBC is a place where your own faith journey can find meaning and purpose. If there is a way that we can serve you better, just let us know!
