In October 2003, an historic meeting of several thousand pastors, missionaries, and laymen was held in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Baptist Bible Fellowship International, World Baptist Fellowship, and Southwide Baptist Fellowship for the first time ever, held all their annual meetings under the banner of the International Baptist Network.

Also in attendance were people from the General Association of Regular Baptists as well as many conservative SBC and unaffiliated Baptists. It had never occurred before 2003.

A spirit of fellowship, an opportunity to meet new people, anointed preaching, and large crowds made it a powerful experience. Many expressed an interest in continuing what began there. We believe the iBaptist Network is the catalyst for re-energizing Baptists in America.

We believe that if we are going to impact an unbelieving culture with the reality of our faith and have any significant affect on our times, we must model love for one another and the ability to work together.
