Our history
A story of God's faithfulness
Every church has a story, and ours is really His, ordinary people, an open Bible, and a faithful God.
Where it began
From a living room to a lighthouse
Dasmariñas Bible Baptist Church began in the later part of 1999 as a home Bible study, led by Bro. Lito Valenzuela in the house of Mr. Edward Linderos. It grew quickly. On June 2, 2000, eighty people gathered in Brgy. San Simon for the first Sunday service.
On December 3, 2003, the ministry was formally organized into a local church. From 2006 onward it began to send: one missionary, then another, until six churches and preaching points had been planted from this one congregation, and Filipino missionaries were being supported on foreign fields.
In 2012 the congregation moved onto its own property in Brgy. Sta. Cruz 1, and the church building was completed in 2015. The same work continues today, and the same God is doing it.
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
