Independent Baptist Institute
Teaching the Word to the World
Independent Baptist Institute is a Bible-teaching ministry founded by pastor and Bible teacher Dan Botterbrodt. Using the King James Bible, the purpose of this ministry is to strengthen Bible-believing churches, pastors, and missionaries through practical biblical ministry training and teaching.
About Independent Baptist Institute
Independent Baptist Institute is a ministry of Foundation Baptist Church. IBI was established as a Bible teaching ministry dedicated to “Teaching the Word to the World.” Our burden is to strengthen New Testament churches by providing Bible teaching resources to pastors, missionaries, and church members wherever they serve.
Bible institute courses are prepared that churches can use in their own ministries — whether for a church Bible study course, a Sunday school program, or focused Bible training for future pastors and missionaries. Our desire is to see believers grounded in the preserved Word of God, equipped to handle Scripture accurately, and ready to plant and strengthen local Baptist churches.
Through this online Bible institute, we come alongside church-planting missionaries, pastors, and local congregations with resources that emphasize sound doctrine, Baptist distinctives, and practical ministry training — all for the glory of Christ, not the promotion of a personality or organization.

About Foundation Baptist Church, Crete, Nebraska
In a modern age given to change, the ministry of this New Testament Baptist church on purpose follows the Biblical principles and practices that have been held by true New Testament churches since the time of Christ. We believe that if we attempt to be like other churches in our area we have lost our reason for existence. Therefore, we emphasize preaching of the preserved words of God (KJB in English), BAPTIST distinctives, music free from the influence of this world, and standards of separation. Our church desires to keep Christ preeminent by not following popular preachers (Baptist or Evangelical) or political leaders. Our message to others is repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
