In presenting our beliefs we keep in mind the following 3 principles:
- In all essential beliefs–we have unity. “There is one Body and one Spirit…there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of us all…” (Eph. 4:4-6)
- In nonessential beliefs–we have liberty. “Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters…Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his master he stands or falls…So then each of us will give an account of himself to God…So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God.” (Rom. 14:1,4,12,22)
- In all our beliefs–we show love. “…If I hold in my hand not only all human knowledge but also the very secrets of God, and if I have the faith that can move mountains–but have no love, I amount to nothing at all.” (1 Cor. 13:2)

Our Dreams
About 17 years ago we developed a series of statements of what we dreamed IBC would become.
We are in the middle of asking this question all over again. While the statements that follow have withstood the test of time and still reflect the heart of what is going on with IBC, we must always be diligent in examining where our heart is and what we are doing to increase the kingdom.
