Statement of Purpose

Recognizing that fellowships do not start churches, the Global Independent Baptist Fellowship is a fellowship of independent Baptist pastors, missionaries, and evangelists, which covenants together to share a common burden to accomplish the following purposes:

1. To encourage the establishment of New Testament Baptist Churches

2. To encourage pastors and missionaries by unifying around a common doctrinal belief. (See "Articles of Faith" for further explanation.)

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

5. To encourage the perpetuity of Historic Baptist Distinctives
