Independent Baptists Youth Rally
The IBYR was started as the result of Evangelist Terry Danford (then Pastor of McGregor Road Baptist Church) having a burden for a youth rally in Indiana that would hold fast to Biblical principles and encourage young people to live for the Lord. In 2019 the rally will celebrate 21 years of faithfully challenging young people to know their Bibles and to hide God's Word in their hearts.
The rallies are held once a month between September and April. A different church hosts the rally each month. The rally consists of 7 portions: Singing, Sword Drills, Scripture Memorization, Bible Quizzes, Magnum Messages (Young men preaching for 7 minutes), Pastoral Preaching, and Fellowship.
The Rallies are hosted and supported through a fellowship of churches of like faith and practice. They are:
First Baptist Church of Lizton (Lizton) Pastor Mike Thornsley Jr.
Grace Community Baptist Church (Monticello) Pastor Gary Roberts
McGregor Road Baptist Church (Acton) Pastor Chris Kaiser
North Salem Baptist Church (North Salem) Pastor Bob Hargis
Faith Baptist Church (Crawfordsville) Pastor Tony Roe
