Global Independent Baptist Fellowship
Global Independent Baptist Fellowship - recently formed independent
Baptist fellowship arising from doctrinal disputes within the
Baptist Bible Fellowship International. Pastors and churches withdrawing from BBFI objected to perceived modernism relating to the
Bible, music, worship styles, eccelesiology and other issues. According to their Purpose Statement, the GIBF desires "1. To encourage the establishment of New Testament Baptist Churches; 2. To encourage pastors and missionaries by unifying around a common doctrinal belief; 3. To encourage Global
evangelism by networking our churches, resources and personnel; 4. To encourage the training of
Christian leaders for the fulfillment of the Great Commission; and 5. To encourage the perpetuity of Historic Baptist Distinctives." In addition to the missionary and evangelistic work of the churches, GIBF publishes a quarterly,
Baptist Times and supports the Heartland Baptist Bible College.
