BRAZILIAN AMERICAN BAPTIST CHURCH
Jesus at the center.
A family in Christ.
We are a multicultural, multigenerational Baptist church in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Our Brazilian roots meet different cultures and stories, forming a community that seeks to glorify God, make disciples, and serve others.
THE PURPOSE THAT BRINGS US TOGETHER
Our mission
To glorify God and make disciples of Jesus by welcoming people, teaching his Word, and living out the Gospel in community.
THE COMMUNITY WE SEEK TO NURTURE
Our vision
To be a multicultural, multigenerational community where people and families grow in Christlikeness and take part in God's mission in the world.
OUR STORY
A journey
in community.
BABC began in April 2018 with the support of First Baptist Church of Plano and the involvement of Pastor Romney Santos and his family.
From the beginning, bringing Brazilians and Americans together around the Gospel has guided a journey of welcome, biblical teaching, and care for people and families.
Our story continues in the lives of those who arrive, find community, and learn to follow Jesus with us.
Pastor Romney Santos
Pastor Romney Santos has served BABC since its founding in April 2018. Alongside his wife, Suene, and his family — his daughters, Thafnes and Tatcha, and his son-in-law, Brian — he shares in the life of the church. His ministry is centered on Jesus Christ and the teaching of his Word, with a commitment to proclaiming the Gospel, welcoming people, and helping them know and follow Christ, grow in his likeness, and live out their faith in community.
