Last Saturday, February 6th, delegates, pastors and guests came together for the final gathering of the 2009 IBC Annual Meeting and voted unanimously to merge IBC with the MBC to form a new district called the Minnesota Iowa Baptist Conference.

 

At the same time that they were meeting in Iowa, Minnesota delegates and pastors were meeting in Minneapolis (and around the state) and they also voted overwhelmingly in favor of merging the two districts.

 

And so, after nearly three years of surveys, proposals, committee meetings, town hall meetings, annual meetings, board meetings, LEAD team meetings, transition team meetings and prayer...it is official. Trout Lake and Pine Lake are sister camps.
