2010 Winter Meeting:
My Anchor Holds
The 2010 Winter Meeting of the GIBF was held in Tampa in February. Many believe this may have been the best meeting of the Global Independent Baptist Fellowship in our history. The fellowship was warm, the hospitality of West Gate Baptist Church was tremendous and the preaching touched our hearts, encouraged our souls and stirred us to the work. We thank Pastor Bruce Turner and all of the good people of West Gate who made this a memorable visit to the Sunshine State.

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 Moderator@GIBF.org and my address is located on the bottom of this page.
