Discipleship


A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.

Luke 6:40NKJV

So, a disciple is to be a duplicate of Jesus Christ. This process is alife-long one that begins with a saving realationship with Jesus through faith by grace. At IBC, we believe that every Christian is called to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. We are all in a life-long process of being made into His Image. We have set out the following to assist you in this journey.

New Member Class

Are you a new believer? New to IBC and feel the Lord would have you be a part of our church family? Come to this 4 week class given each school term - in a small, informal setting, we examine what it means to be a Christian, what baptism is for and what are the main teachings of IBC. Make this a basic step of your discipleship.
