WHO WE ARE | Ibc2018

Statement of Faith

Affiliations

Innisfail Baptist Church began way back in 1894 through the concerns of local people seeing the need for a church in their community. It has since had a long and often colorful history of both ups and downs. We are currently affiliated with the Baptist General Conference of Canada with over 100 churches nationwide. As we move into the future, Innisfail Baptist continues to re-imagine how we can make a difference in the lives of the people in our community and beyond.

Philosophy of Ministry

Innisfail Baptist Church is a growing community of people, who, just like you, are at various points in their life’s journey. We’ve discovered that it is much better to travel through the various phases and challenges of life in the good company of others on the same road.

Ultimately, our goal is to know the God of the Bible in a deeper, more personal way and to reflect His love and compassion to each other and to our community. Whatever your age. Whatever phase of life you are in, we invite you to come and grow with us.

Core Values

We gather as a community of followers of Jesus Christ every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.

To express our love for God, who first loved us
To encourage and support one another
To hear from God through his holy word – the Bible

To find ways to be relevant, engaged citizens in our community
