Campus Shut Down
As we prepare for the holidays and many go out of town for vacation, please leave buildings locked and lights shut off to conserve energy. Also, if you notice a building feels warm when it is not being used, please contact Facilities promptly.
Financial Freedom Seminar 
The Financial Freedom Seminar teaches timeless truths from Scripture through a captivating message as Mr. Jim Sammons shares with transparency and humility how he learned to live the Christian life by applying genuine stewardship principles.

In order to benefit from the accountability in a group setting with a weekly scheduled showing of this video series, a new Financial Freedom group will begin on Sunday evening, January 10, at 6 p.m. at the Latch Missionary Baptist Church (about 25 minutes from campus) and will be facilitated by Tim Levendusky. There will be no cost to participate but attendees are encouraged to purchase the accompanying Men’s Manual, Volume 2 textbook. (One per household would be sufficient.)

The series will run for twenty weeks on Sunday evenings from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., concluding on Sunday, May 23. This seminar was especially designed for heads of households and was originally taught to a men’s class in Oklahoma City, but men and women and young people will all benefit and are invited to attend.

If you are interested in attending, please contact Pastor Leon Ross at leonross1976@gmail.com or Tim Levendusky at tlevendusky@iblp.org.

Please prayerfully consider joining this new Financial Freedom class in the new year of 2021 and find your spiritual life and personal relationships strengthened as you learn to apply Scriptural financial principles (and beyond!) to your personal life, family, work, and ministry.
