I belong to and Independent Fundamental Baptist Church. All their doctrine is based on scripture. There are IFBC's all over and they pretty much share the same beliefs, but some are more liberal, some more legelistic. We feel the one we belong to is moderate. Independent churches are under no authority except the pastor and memebers who attend. When we get large enough that the pastor can't handle all the needs then we will elect Deacons to help him. They will have to qualify according to the qualifications in the bible (1-2 Tim. Titus). Pretty simple as it was meant to be:)
