DALLAS (BP) — Hispanic Southern Baptists from across the country will gather in Dallas this June for a two-day celebration of worship, training, and encouragement as part of the Southern Baptist Convention’s 2025 annual meeting.

The Celebración Hispana will begin Sunday, June 8, with a dynamic worship service hosted at First Baptist Church Dallas, followed by a full day of equipping workshops on Monday, June 9, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas.

Organized by the National Hispanic Baptist Network (Red Nacional Bautista Hispana), the annual gathering continues its tradition of fostering connection, spiritual growth and unity among Hispanic pastors, church leaders and their families.

The Sunday afternoon worship service will run from 3-6 p.m. and is expected to include passionate times of prayer, uplifting music, heartfelt testimonies and messages of celebration. Organizers say it will be a time of “gratitude, brotherhood and rejoicing” as Hispanic Baptists celebrate what God is doing through their churches both in the U.S. and beyond.

On Monday, attendees will convene at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center for a day of practical workshops, running 8 a.m.-4 p.m. The sessions are designed to strengthen ministry leaders and equip them for Gospel work in their local contexts. Workshop topics and speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.

“This is a moment for us to come together, to worship, to learn and to encourage one another,” said leadership from the network in a joint statement. “We believe God is at work through the Hispanic Baptist family in powerful ways, and this celebration is a time to give Him glory for that.”

The Celebración Hispana is free to attend and open to all Hispanic pastors, ministry leaders, and their spouses. Registration is available here.
