Idlewild Baptist Church is a cooperative member of the Southern Baptist Convention. As a member church in friendly cooperation, we operate under a form of governance called congregational polity. IBC is autonomous in its decision-making as an individual church regarding ministry, leadership, and operations. As an SBC member, IBC is free from a regionally or nationally controlling body, but partners with the convention and other SBC churches in support of furthering Gospel proclamation through national and international endeavors. IBC is led by staff pastors in teaching and preaching, vision and mission, but has a deacon body and member-led committees and ministries that engage the church in all other areas of ministry and member care.
If you have any questions or require more information please contact a Pastor by contacting the church office.
