Raleigh Arabic Baptist Church

Raleigh Arabic Baptist Church began in 1984 meeting in individual homes and was led by Rev. Bill and Nancy Hern. In October of 1986, through the Herns and a joint relationship with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina and the Raleigh Baptist Association, Rev. Charles Farag and his wife, Susan, were called to lead the church. Rev. Farag began an outreach program by writing to all persons bearing an Arabic name in the Raleigh phone book. In 1986, Rev. Farag also enrolled at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary where he received a Master of Divinity degree in December of 1989.

Approximately 1988, Rev. Farag began airing a television ministry entitled, “Prophet or God,” to reach Muslims with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This ministry continued to air for 12 years. The door has recently opened to begin a new television program to the Arabic population around the world. This new program, “How to Be Like Jesus” will be aired via the satellite of the “Aramia” and other Arabic networks.

Raleigh Arabic Baptist Church holds the infallible Word of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ as its highest regard. We are a Baptist church, but our ultimate allegiance is to Jesus Christ and His Word. We welcome to our membership every person who has trusted and accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We believe the main role of the church is to spread the good news about Jesus who died for our sins and rose again for our justification that we might have everlasting life.

We invite you to join us for a time of worship, teaching and fellowship by tuning into “How to Be Like Jesus.” Check your local programming schedule for dates and times of airing in your area.
