Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

Independent — Heartland Baptist Bible College orbit; no denominational accountability.

Caution

Assessment

Large Oklahoma City IFB flagship closely tied to Heartland Baptist Bible College (Pastor Gaddis is also college president). Strong bus ministry with 19 routes and 450 weekly children. Classic BBFI-orbit independent fundamental Baptist ministry; visit with discernment as the college-church-bus-ministry axis typifies old-school IFB programmatic emphasis.
