History of Independent Baptist Church :

Independent Baptist Church first met in Brook View School (now John R. Tibbott) when Dr. Jack Sellards gathered eight others for the first service. Dr. Sellards, a former stone quarry businessman from Normal, Illinois, had been burdened for several months about the Bolingbrook area. His goal for an independent, Bible-preaching church was realized on July 22, 1973.

Pastor David Shoaf, a graduate of Tennessee Temple University, accepted the pastorate in Bolingbrook in November of 1975. By the end of 1976, the church had quadrupled in growth and bought a parsonage. By the end of 1979, the church had saved a large amount toward the purchase of the present property on West Boughton Road.
