Vision
IBC is a Christ-centered, Bible-believing fellowship of Evangelical Christians. You will notice that our church bi-line is "Sharing the love of God" and this is what IBC is all about.
Church
Close to 50 different nationalities are present in IBC. Among the top three are Singaporeans, Americans, and Filipinos. The church meets for worship service on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings, but Bible groups, events and choir/band practices take place throughout the week.
Services
IBC holds four English services each week, as well as a Filipino service, and a small group gathering for Indonesian and Chinese services.
Ministries
IBC has different ministries for members of the church, such as Children's Ministries,Youth Ministries, Young Adults, Women's and Men's Ministries, and Music & Worship Ministry.
Children's Ministry
Sunday School takes place on Sundays during service times, from preschool up to 8th grade. AWANA is also held every Sunday, where children play fun games, memorize Bible verses, sing and learn about God's Word from their 'leaders'. During the June summer holidays, children may sign up for Vacation Bible School(VBS), an annual week-long church camp event.
Choirs
IBC has a choir for every age group. Present as part of the IBC Music Ministry are the Kids For Praise Children's Choir (ages 5–12), Living Proof Youth Choir (ages 12–20+), Sanctuary Choir (ages 18 and above), as well as the Handbell Choir.
Children's Choir
The Children's choir lays a strong foundation both musically and spiritually in the lives of the little ones. From singing on Sunday mornings, for special events and Christmas programs to presentations at the closure of the school year, this choir offers a positive experience for all. Designed to help children become worshippers of God, this choir is open to all children of ages 6 to 12.
Youth Choir
The Youth Choir is a new group at IBC, started in August 2007. It is directed by the church's music director. It offers opportunities for ministry, fun and fellowship all year round. The choir sings in services monthly. Besides singing in services, the Youth Choir travels around the country to sing and minister in nursing homes, prisons, etc. Twice each academic year the choir travels around Southeast Asia to minister in orphanages and hold concerts to spread the love of God, through scripture and song. The Youth Choir's theme song is 'Living Proof', written specially for the choir by two of its members. It was first performed at IBC Youth Choir's Got Talent, the choir's talent show, by the Filipino youth ministry choir members in 2008.
