Our Mission is simple:

As a Conservative Southern Baptist Church, we hold only to what the scriptures proclaim the church to be, act, engage, and live by. We concentrate on teaching and preaching the Bible according to true meaning from Genesis to Revelation. We believe if we concentrate on building disciples through the word of God, More people can be reached for the Glory of God and not ourselves. We at IFBC strive to help people develop a balanced approach to the biblical approach. Worship, fellowship, evangelism, discipleship, service to God through our church and in our lives.

We welcome you here at Indian Fork Baptist Church. When you come for the first time you may be a guest but in our hearts, you are truly family. Steve and Kristi have been at Indian Fork since 2012. Steve began serving as associate Pastor in 2012 and was confirmed in 2016 as a senior pastor. Brother Steve Adams completed his Masters of Divinity Degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in spring 2019. Steve and Kristi’s passion is to help people grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. God loves the world so much that he gave his only begotten son for our sins, he would die so we may live. Kristi works full time at the Bagdad postal service and doing full-time ministry work for the Glory of God. Steve while completing his masters works toward the spreading of the Gospel and in prayer with the community, while serving as an Educator at Cornerstone Christian Academy in Shelby County... We know what it is like to work diligently and staying busy for kingdom work and life. We all must find time to grow in Christ and to become closer to Christ. We encourage you to come to surround yourself with a congregation whose arms are open, welcoming, and caring. This congregation truly knows the meaning of the 2 greatest commandments.

Have you ever wondered why lots of people aren’t active in church these days? Could it be too often?

• Sermons are boring and they don’t relate to our lives?
• Preachers water down the word instead of expository truth from God’s word?
• Church’s at times seem only interested in your money?
• Childcare and personal care are just not up to par?
