Primera Arlington Baptist Church is a family of faith in the heart of Arlington. At our core, we are a prayerful, loving, and humble body strong in meaningful friendships and faith. We are a multigenerational congregation with a strong foundation and a desire to grow in deeper discipleship, our personal walk with God, sharing the good news of salvation with our community, and showing God's love to others. As a predominantly Hispanic congregation, we seek to more effectively serve our bilingual membership and community.
