Our goal as a church is to impact the City of Lake Dallas for Christ by loving others as Christ first loved us. We are passionate about serving the community and demonstrating God’s love to others. Whether in worship, individually, in groups, or within our church and around the world, we are focused on supporting and engaging in relationships that give reassurance and restoration to a hurting world.
A few of the missions supported by First Baptist Church Lake Dallas:
Mustard Seed Network Siatama Japan
In 2007, compelled by Christ’s commission and the great need for the gospel in Japan, a team of church planters moved to Japan with a vision to make disciples by planting churches in urban Japan. The first church began in December 2009 in Nagoya, Japan. In a ministry characterized by gospel-proclamation, relentless evangelism, biblical teaching, and authentic community, disciples were soon made and the kingdom of God grew in Japan. Within two years a team was sent to Osaka to start another church plant. Since that time, six more church plants have started in Kobe, Kyoto, Tokyo, Sendai, Hiroshima, and Yokohama. Mustard Seed Network endeavors to plant four more churches in Japan’s largest urban areas by 2025. Brie Patton and her husband Jon are church planters with Mustard Seed Network and are planting a church in Saitama Japan. Brie is from Lake Dallas and grew up right here at FBC Lake Dallas!

The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering (AAEO) is the primary way we support mission efforts in North America. One hundred percent of gifts given to AAEO are used to support Southern Baptist missionaries serving across the United States and Canada.
In the 1800s, a missionary named Lottie Moon wrote letters from China urging American churches to fund more overseas workers. After Lottie’s death on the mission field, an offering was started in her name. The offering was established to empower international missions efforts for Southern Baptists.
The focused vision of the Denton Baptist Association is to provide an environment of resources and cooperation that enhances the effectiveness of the network of churches in fulfilling the Great Commission primarily in the Greater Denton County Area, but extending to the farthest regions of the earth.
The North Texas Coalition Against Human Trafficking (NTCAHT), working against human trafficking since 2011, meets monthly in the downtown Dallas area to discuss how human trafficking affects North Texas communities and how we can collaborate to combat this problem. The individuals and agencies that make up the Coalition collectively provide health, counseling, legal, and case management services to hundreds of trafficked people each year.
IMB partners with churches to empower limitless missionary teams who are evangelizing, discipling, planting, and multiplying healthy churches, and training leaders among unreached peoples and places for the glory of God.
The Church is God’s plan—you are God’s plan—to reach North America and the nations with the hope of the gospel, and the North American Mission Board is here to help.
