Inner City Baptist Missions is a mission agency under the direction of Souls Harbor Baptist Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is our desire to see Independent, Fundamental Baptist Churches planted and strengthened in the inner cities of America.

In 1996 God moved in the hearts of Pastor Paul Hoover and Evangelist Herb Hoover to establish a missionary outreach to America’s inner cities.  This burden for America’s inner cities came after Pastor Paul Hoover started a new church in downtown Milwaukee in1986.  This church, Souls Harbor Baptist Church is a a testimony of God’s blessing and desire to reach this vast and needy mission field.  The church has reached many souls with the Gospel and has many nationalities in the membership.  The outreach of the church includes a Spanish ministry, bus ministry, rescue mission ministry and youth ministry.  Inner City Baptist is under sponsorship and control of the Souls Harbor Baptist Church.

The goal of this missionary outreach is to help church planters start and firmly establish new fundamental Baptist churches in the inner city.  Also, the mission seeks to strengthen existing inner city churches.  Surveys of all the inner cities of America will determine the needs and opportunities open to those called to serve.  A board of reference of godly, concerned pastors will be available to provide recommendations regarding this ministry.  The Pastor and Board of Deacons of the Souls Harbor Baptist Church are the directors and officers of ICBM.
