The international community in any area is always confronted with the problems of personal and family isolation due to linguistic and cultural barriers, such a situation presents a great need for the international Christian community to gather for fellowship and worship of God. Our vision at I.B.C therefore is to be an international church that gathers, nurtures and sends out spiritually motivated christians in an environment of fellowship for the isolated, support for the wavering, forgiveness for the fallen, encouragement for the discouraged, counsel for the confused and opportunity for service to those who are committed to Jesus Christ. We see our church as presenting a unique setting to harness the diversity of race, culture, education, work, and Christian tradition to strengthen the unity which all true believers in Christ have – rather than to diminish it. The emphasis of our fellowship is on the substance of the Christian faith – as revealed in scripture – and not merely on the form of its expression. At I.B.C, we seek to be a living Christian fellowship, practically demonstrating the uniqueness of the love, grace, holiness and power of God as revealed in Christ. Consequently, we seek to be dependent upon and be led by the spirit of God – and deliberately shun the things that grieves Him, and those that are not in accordance with His teaching as revealed in scripture. Fellowship within the body must therefore be accompanied by the pursuit of purity in practice and in doctrine. We seek to demonstrate the reality of our risen Lord by seeking to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit – and not in dependence upon any human agency or programs. We are a church that is committed to ministering to the needs of all our members and to their families – as well as to those in our vicinity who do not know Christ – as we receive spiritual and practical support and commitment from our members in turn.
