WEEKLY ATTENDANCE: 1,425

Dallas Bay Church is a vibrant, multi-generational faith community nestled in the rolling foothills of Hixson, Tennessee, just outside Chattanooga. More than just a place to worship on Sundays, the church is built on three warm, inviting pillars:
Discovering God, Becoming Family, and Caring for People. Whether you are looking for a scenic place to raise a family or a community to call home, Dallas Bay offers an authentic environment where people from all walks of life can truly belong.

At the center of everything they do is a deep love for Jesus. They hold a high view of Scripture, believing the Bible is the ultimate source of truth for living. Their weekend services are intentional and filled with music, often featuring a unique and beautiful blend of a powerful worship choir and praise team, an orchestra, and a contemporary band, ensuring that every generation finds a meaningful way to connect with God.

The heart of Dallas Bay is seen most clearly through their active care for the local community and their desire to do life together in circles, not just rows. From the community-focused food pantry to their dedicated ministries for children, students, and “Legacy Builders”, they are passionate about nurturing disciples across every age group. Dallas Bay Church is like a large, extended family gathering on a wide front porch where there is always an extra chair, the conversation is centered on what matters most, and everyone, from the youngest child to the oldest grandparent, has a vital place at the table.
