Church Planting
Start Something New
“All the peoples”
Jesus sent His followers to reach all the peoples of the world. Now, He is actively bringing them to our cities! At least 271 different languages are spoken in Dallas County homes. Even among English-speakers there are many distinct cultural groups. Every person in Dallas and Rockwall Counties ought to have a church that that “speaks their language.” Our churches, therefore, are working to plant churches among every language and culture represented in our mission field. The people of the Dallas Baptist Association are praying daily that the Spirit will bring people to join this exciting venture.

Child Safety and Abuse Prevention
Dallas Baptist Association churches should have child protection policies that are consistently practiced to protect children and families from abuse. Though we recommend that your church’s policy contain these elements, churches should develop their own policies that appropriately reflect their unique circumstances. We advise that an attorney review each church’s child protection policy.

Church Planting Fund
One of Dallas Baptist Association’s primary emphases is seeing God plant new churches throughout our area. The funds for this come largely from our churches’ giving to our regular budget.
