Independent Baptist Institute
Teaching the Word to the World
Independent Baptist Institute is a Bible-teaching and publishing ministry founded by pastor and Bible teacher Dan Botterbrodt. Using the King James Bible, the purpose of our ministry is to strengthen Bible-believing churches, pastors, and missionaries through biblical ministry training, practical teaching, and Christ-centered resources.
About Independent Baptist Institute
Based out of Foundation Baptist Church, Independent Baptist Institute is a Bible teaching ministry dedicated to “Teaching the Word to the World.” Our burden is to strengthen New Testament churches by putting systematic Bible teaching resources within reach of 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.

Preaching, Teaching, and the Local Church
Sermon Audio & Bible Teaching
Listen to clear, Bible-centered preaching from Pastor Dan and guest teachers. Our sermon audio library is designed to help believers grow in their understanding of God’s Word and to serve as a resource for pastors and teachers preparing lessons and messages.
You’ll find messages that emphasize expositional preaching, Baptist doctrine, and practical Christian living—material that can be used in your own Bible teaching ministry, Sunday school classes, or midweek services.
Our Church: Foundation Baptist Church
Independent Baptist Institute is a ministry of Foundation Baptist Church in Crete, Nebraska—a New Testament Baptist church committed to the unchanging truths of God’s Word. Foundation Baptist Church preaches from the preserved Word of God (KJB in English), holds to historic Baptist distinctives, maintains music and standards free from worldly influence, and seeks to keep Christ preeminent above personalities and politics.
This local church home reflects the same heartbeat as this ministry: repentance toward God, faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, and a steadfast stand on Scripture in a world given over to sin and false doctrine.
