Upendo Church was started in May of 1998 through the vision and work of Pastor Shadrack Ruto, a graduate of Dallas theological seminary (DTS). After graduating in 1996, Pastor Ruto served in various ministries in the Dallas Metro. However, it was not until mid 1998 that God impressed upon Shadrack's heart the need to reach out to the Kenyan community.

For a while it was more of evangelism, but after doing some research, shadrack realized that there were more than 7,000 Kenyans living in the Dallas metro area, most of whom were not members of any church. The call was clear: They needed not only salvation, but also a church in which to grow through worship, fellowship, and service.

The initial vision of the church was to reach out to the Kenyan community. However, it has become clear that God has a wider vision for Upendo Baptist Church. We have seen people from all walks of life join our services every Sunday. We continue to have a great passion for reaching international communities in the Dallas metro.

Our mission is to reach the many international peoples living in the metro and to help them grow in their walk with Christ. In addition, we intend to provide a stepping-stone for missionaries and evangelists who have been called to do God's work in Africa.
