Welcome

In 1967 a group of American military members began meeting in Casteau, Belgium. This group originally was a mission work from the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Paris, France. The mission was started when SHAPE moved from Paris to Belgium. By 1968, this group had grown to such an extent that they decided to officially organize as a congregation with their own pastor.

International Baptist Church has been meeting regularly since 1973 in Jurbise as a group of believers for the purpose of worship, personal growth and sharing the Gospel with all who live in the SHAPE area. Over the years this outreach has included many who are not Americans but nevertheless speak English.

We now offer translation in French every Sunday morning!

Since 1967 literally thousands of people from all over the world have been changed by the impact of this church.

We are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, the European Baptist Convention and the Union of Baptists in Belgium.
