What To Expect
Worship services at JIBC are intended to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ and to equip believers to grow in their knowledge of God's Word.

The atmosphere at JIBC is one in which spiritual growth is encouraged. Not only is it enough that we witness for Christ, but we must also be willing to invest in each others lives through discipleship.

Our blended mode of worship offers traditional hymns and contemporary praise choruses while Biblical-centered messages are presented with a relevant focus for application to our lives.
