In 1955, Missionary Don White out of the Grace Baptist Church of Middletown, Ohio, began services in Anchorage, Alaska. In January of 1956, that church was organized as the Bible Baptist Church of Anchorage.

One of the men of that church was sent by the U.S. Air Force to Grand Forks, North Dakota. Upon arrival, this man Sergeant Bruce Milene contacted his Pastor, Don White in Alaska and reported that there was no true Baptist Church in the Grand Forks, North Dakota/East Grand Forks, Minnesota area. Brother White then told Brother Milene to start one. Brother White and Missionary Jim Jenkins came to Grand Forks and helped in the beginning of the new church called Bible Baptist Church.

It's first building was located at 813 South 11th Street, an old Union Hall. Brother Jenkins helped the new church in it's organization.

Then in March of 1966, the church issued a call to Gordon Silcox a native of Minnesota who had pastored in Iowa and Oklahoma to become the pastor of this new church. Brother Silcox arrived the first week of April 1966 and pastored the church until June of 1990. During his pastorate over seventy men surrendered to preach the Gospel. A training school for the men was begun, and during the 24 year pastorate of Pastor Silcox, DD, LLD, many churches were started and organized out of the Bible Baptist Church.

In June of 1990 Brother Silcox resigned and the church called Brother Mike Custer, long-time Associate and Son-in-law to Brother Silcox as the pastor. Since then the church has started new a church in Wahpeton, North Dakota.

In the spring of 1997 the church was flooded under the Big Red River of the North and totally lost all of its properties.

The church is still strong and built a new building on the west side of Grand Forks in 1999.
