April 28th and 29th

We are thrilled to invite you to the Independent Baptist Pastors Fellowship and Preaching Meeting on Monday, April 28th, and Tuesday, April 29th, 2025, hosted here at Calvary Baptist Church in Branson, Missouri. In these challenging times, as the devil works tirelessly to destroy our churches and tear apart our families—the very heart of our ministries—this meeting serves as a reminder of the importance of standing firm together. We cordially invite you, your wife, family, staff, and any members of your church who would like to attend.

 

Special Speakers and Music

 

This year’s meeting features preaching and music that will encourage and strengthen your heart:

​

• Pastor Jim Kiefer

  • Celebrating 25 years in ministry at Heartland Baptist Church in Perryville, Missouri, Pastor Kiefer and his wife, Mrs. Tammy, have raised 12 children who faithfully serve the Lord. His testimony and dedication to building a godly family and ministry will inspire and challenge you.

• Special Music by the Hershberger Family

  • Enjoy spirit-filled music that will lift your soul and prepare your heart for the preaching of God’s Word.
