We are committed to Biblical teaching and Christian fellowship. We believe in the power of the Gospel and the Lord Jesus Christ to transform lives, and we are committed to spreading the message of salvation through Jesus Christ throughout Ocala, Florida area.

Historic Baptist Doctrine
At Independence Baptist Church, we stand firmly on the historic Baptist distinctives that have shaped biblical Baptist churches for generations. We believe in the absolute authority of the King James Bible and are committed to upholding sound doctrine without compromise. Our church embraces the autonomy of the local church, the priesthood of all believers, soul liberty, regenerate church membership, two ordinances, and biblical separation, holding fast to the faith once delivered unto the saints (Jude 3).
We reject modern theological drift and remain steadfast in preaching and teaching the full counsel of God. Our mission is to evangelize the lost, disciple believers, and equip them to walk in obedience to God’s Word. With a strong emphasis on personal holiness, biblical family values, and unwavering service to Christ, we continue to stand as a faithful New Testament church in Ocala, Florida.
Meet Our Bible-Preaching Pastor
Pastor Sam Adams is the pastor of Independence Baptist Church in Ocala, Florida. With a strong passion for Biblical preaching and discipleship, he is dedicated to equipping believers with the truth of God’s Word. His leadership emphasizes holiness, evangelism, and a Christ-centered life. Through expository preaching and doctrinal teaching, Pastor Adams faithfully guides our congregation in growing in faith and obedience to the Lord.
Pastor Adams has a deep burden for reaching the lost and strengthening the faith of believers. He is actively involved in the life of the church, providing Biblical counseling and encouraging godly living, all while staying faithful to God’s commandments. His sermons are rooted in Scripture, offering practical application for daily Christian living in Ocala, Florida.
A Baptist Church That Stands Apart
Independence Baptist Church contends earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints and remains distinct from many other churches in this age of widespread apostasy. We use only the Authorized King James Bible, the perfectly preserved Word of God, and do so without apology. The rise of modern “Bible” versions, based on the corrupted Westcott-Hort text—including the NIV, NASV, NKJV, ESV, and others—is an attack on the authority of God’s Word by Satan and his forces.
Our church holds unwaveringly to Biblical doctrine and stands firmly against the compromises of contemporary Christianity. We emphasize strong Biblical preaching, reverent worship, and a Christ-honoring lifestyle. Our ministries, including Sunday school and evangelistic outreach efforts throughout Ocala, Florida, aim to uphold the purity of the faith and equip believers to stand firm against the spiritual deceptions of this age. We encourage every believer to remain steadfast in their convictions and actively contend for Biblical truth in their daily lives.
