Grace Independent Baptist Church

350 Main Street
724-354-4564

GIBC is an independent Bible believing, Jesus centered, grace and relationship based church located in the Shelocta community, just 4 miles west of Indiana, Pennsylvania. Our church is easily accessible right off of Route 422 onto Main St. Shelocta.

There are more than 15,000 independent Baptist churches in America and at least 10,000 independent Baptist missionaries serving on mission fields worldwide.

As an independent Baptist church we are an autonomous congregation. We are self- governing and self-supporting. The head of the church is the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible is our sole authority for faith and practice. It is our desire to be a truly New Testament church.

We believe that the Church, which is the body and the espoused bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons of this present age which began with Christ and the Apostles, was empowered at Pentecost, and will be caught up to be with Christ at the Rapture.

We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures.

We believe in the autonomy of the local church free of any external authority or control.
