2009 Fall Meeting:
DOING A GREAT WORK

It was obvious from the start that Pastor Troy Dorrell and the good people of Eastland Baptist Church Tulsa, Oklahoma were well prepared for the fall meeting of the Global Independent Baptist Fellowship. The theme, Doing A Great Work - Nehemiah 6:3, was seen in the music, the preaching and the well organized events surrounding the meeting. Every preacher hit the mark with excellent preaching and we left encouraged, refreshed and revived.

You have the opportunity to hear the same preaching right now. Click here to listen to the messages from the Tulsa meeting.

Frank Wood
GIBF Moderator

As the moderator of the Global Independent Baptist Fellowship, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting this website. Please take a few minutes to search out the pages of this site. It is designed to give you information about the purpose and philosophy of the preachers who are part of the GIBF.

The GIBF was formed in November of 2000 at a meeting held at the Cleveland Baptist Church. The purpose of this fellowship is to promote and encourage church planting of old-fashioned, Bible-believing and Bible preaching Baptist churches, both in the United States and on foreign soil.

As Independent Baptists, we realize that we have no authority over individual Baptist churches, pastors, missionaries or evangelists, but we do believe that God gives us a measure of influence. Therefore, those who align and fellowship with the GIBF are men who believe in the Baptist distinctives, separation from the world, and godly standards.

If you would like further information about the GIBF or GIBM, please do not hesitate to contact me. My email is pastor@whittierlanebaptist.org and my address is located on the bottom of this page.
