The Independent Baptist Church of America traces its foundation back to a church or churches organized at Dassel, Minnesota in 1893 by Swedish Free Baptist immigrants. In 1956, there were 2 churches with 106 members. The church appears to have ceased to exist in the 1960s or 1970s.[1]

The IBCA in 1986 was relocated to Boca Raton, Florida and a Dr. Robert G. Montagnus was the senior pastor and/or president of Independent Baptist Churches of America in 1986. The IBCA Corporation in Florida, as of this year 2008 is dissolved and the present whereabouts of Dr. Montagnus and/or the IBCA is unknown.

I became ordained a minister by the IBCA in 1986. The last I knew the IBCA had over 300 ministers in the USA.
