Dallas Baptist Association

Churches Serving Dallas and Rockwall Counties

Starting a New Church

We pray daily for God to send workers into the mission fields of Dallas. If you sense God leading you to explore starting a church in the Dallas area, we’d consider it an honor and a potentially answered prayer to speak with you.

CARING FOR PASTORS AND CONNECTING TO SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS

Some missiologists estimate that 75 percent of the residents of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex do not have an evangelical faith in Christ. Join us at DBA as we pray to the Lord to send out workers to our harvest field and as we encourage and care for the pastors who are faithfully leading in it.

Strengthening Churches

Churches are strengthened when members of the body are living out their calling to be on mission with Jesus. DBA’s church strengthening team helps churches deepen their understanding of what it means to love God and love their neighbors where they live, work and play.
