Our story
International Bible Academy began more than four decades ago as a small prayer gathering in a living room — a handful of believers asking God to do something beautiful in our city. What started with a few families and a borrowed hall has grown, by God's grace alone, into a vibrant church family from many languages and walks of life.
From the very beginning, our heartbeat has been simple: to know Christ and to make Him known. We believe the gospel is good news for everyone, so our doors are open to the seeker and the skeptic, the lifelong believer and the one walking in for the first time.
Over the years God has allowed us to plant ministries among children and youth, serve the poor in our neighbourhood, train leaders through Bible courses, and send workers to villages across the region. Every chapter of our story is a testimony of His faithfulness.
Today we continue to gather every week — singing, opening the Scriptures, praying for one another, and sharing meals — convinced that the church is not a building but a family. And in this family, there is room for you.
What shapes us
Everything we do flows from a simple vision: every person finding their home in Christ and His church.
We worship God with all that we are — in song, in service, and in everyday obedience.
The Bible is our final authority. We open it together, trust it fully, and live by what it says.
Faith was never meant to be lived alone. We share our lives, our tables, and our burdens.
What we believe
We stand in the historic Protestant faith, summarised in these convictions.
