DCBC is committed to strengthening our member churches to advance God’s kingdom. We strive to support our member churches by providing ministry resources and opportunities for networking, fellowship, corporate worship and training, as well as by undergirding their programs and activities. In addition, the Convention seeks to inspire courageous, missional engagement amongst member congregations, organizations, entities, groups and individuals committed to our values and the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) in the spirit of the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40).

DCBC is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA and the Progressive National Baptist Convention. DCBC is also a member of the Baptist World Alliance and partners with many other Baptist bodies and faith-based organizations.
