Independent Baptist Church of America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Independent Baptist Church of America traces its foundation back to a church organization by Swedish Free Baptist immigrants at Dassel, Minnesota in 1893. The body was initially known as the Scandinavian Baptist Church in America.[1] In 1926 the denomination had 13 churches with 222 members.[1] The name Independent Baptist Church of America was adopted in 1927. In 1936, there were 5 churches in Minnesota with 82 members.[2] In 1956, there were 2 churches with 106 members, and down to 70 members in 1963.[3][4] The church ceased to exist in the 1970s.[5]
