Campus is empty as I start this update. There is no raucous laughter coming from the men’s dorm, no singing or guitar playing. But within a few hours, campus should again be busy as students return from their ministry trip to Cortez, Colorado and surrounding areas and...

February 2025 Travel. In the past several years IBC has made several trips available to students. Here are a few photos. Recently three students and two staff traveled to Washington, D.C. with National Association of Evangelicals’ Christian Student Leadership...
