First Baptist Arlington is thrilled to announce a significant step towards fostering inclusivity and connection within our diverse community: live translation during our sermons! We understand that our church family represents a rich tapestry of cultures and languages, and we are committed to ensuring everyone can fully engage with and understand the powerful message of our services. 

 

Now, regardless of your primary language, you can experience our sermons in a way that resonates deeply. We are excited to offer live captioning and live audio translation directly to your smart phone or tablet. Simply visit www.fbca.org/caption on your device and select your preferred language. It’s that easy to connect with the sermon in real-time. 

 

Currently, we are providing live translation in a wide array of languages, including Korean/ 한국, Cantonese/ 廣東, Mandarin/ , Farsi/ فارسی  , Arabic/ اَلْعَرَبِيَّةُ  , Hindi/ हिन्दी, Spanish/ Español , French/Français, Portuguese/ Português, and English. This reflects the beautiful diversity of our congregation and our dedication to serving each individual within it. 

 

Located in one of the most diverse cities in the United States (Arlington, Texas), First Baptist Arlington takes seriously the call to love our neighbors and share the Good News of Jesus with everyone. Offering live sermon translation in multiple languages is a tangible expression of this commitment. We believe that language should not be a barrier to experiencing the transformative power of faith and community. 

 

We recognize and celebrate our church’s intercultural and multilingual life. This new initiative allows us to better serve our community, ensuring that more people can fully participate in our worship services and feel a deeper sense of belonging. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity to break down communication barriers and create a more unified and understanding church family.
