We’re excited about God

We’re excited about God and the good things He’s doing on earth, and love that we get to be part of it!

Personal revival, Kingdom impact

International Bible Fellowship is a community of worshippers in Buchs SG, Switzerland. We exist to ignite individual hearts until Heaven meets Earth. We gather to encounter God’s presence, where personal revival starts.

It’s all about God’s presence

Worship creates a space for us to experience the tangible presence of our good Father. We believe it’s what we’re all created for.

Gather with us

We’re so honored to host people from around the world every week. We’d love for you to visit us for an event or Sunday service.
