Immanuel Bible Fellowship (IBF) is a Grace Advance church plant in Gainesville, Virginia .  We meet together each Sunday at 9 a.m. for our Bible Fellowship Hour, a time of interactive learning, and at 10 a.m. for Worship in songs and hymns, scripture reading, prayer, and the exposition of God’s Word.  

Our Pastor, John Chester, arrived in Virginia in September 2012 after graduating from The Master's Seminary and The Grace Advance Academy. He holds a Master of Divinity Degree and has been Ordained to the Gospel Ministry by the elders of Grace Community Church (Sun Valley, CA) after careful examination of his life, charecter and talents. Pastor John is currently teaching through the Gospel of Mark.  

We are committed to the authority of Scripture and seek to pattern our ministry after the model found in the New Testament.  IBF is a growing community of believers dedicated to the Worship of the triune God, study of God's Word, prayer, mutual encouragement  and helping one another grow in godliness through discipleship.  We would be honored if you joined us for worship and allow us the opportunity to serve you.
