What Igreja Batista Central De Anapolis does

Igreja Batista Central de Anápolis (IBCA) is a Brazilian Baptist church organization founded on September 7, 1967, headquartered at Avenida Presidente Kennedy, nº 39, Bairro Maracanã, Anápolis, Goiás, Brazil. It serves approximately 1,000 resident members at its main temple (capacity for ~1,100 people, inaugurated in its current form in 2021) and operates a broader network of 7 planted churches and 3 congregations within Anápolis and Goiás state, plus international church plants in Portugal, Peru, and Japan. Approximately 40 missionaries are supported worldwide. The organization is registered as a nonprofit under CNPJ 00.045.005/0001-30, affiliated with the Convenção Batista Nacional and ORMIBAN.

The church runs a digital engagement stack consisting of an IBCA mobile application on iOS and Android (offering access to services, content, and small group tools), YouTube-based live streaming of Sunday worship, WhatsApp communication, Instagram presence, and a Pequeno Grupo Locator on its website. Core ministry programs include children's ministry (IBCA Kids, ages 1-10), pre-teen (Conectados), teens (Adolescentes), young adults (Jovem, 18-29), women's (Mulheres), men's (Homens), worship (Louvor), intercession (Intercessão), and a network of community-based small groups (Pequenos Grupos). Two education-adjacent programs operate under the IBCA umbrella: SETEBAN, a theological seminary for ministry training, and EMIBCA, a music school offering practical courses in guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, and vocals.

IBCA's revenue model is entirely donation-based, relying on biblical tithes (dízimos, nominally 10% of member income), free-will offerings, and contributions collected during and outside worship services through SICOOB bank accounts, PIX transfers to designated keys, and QR codes. The organization's social arm, Instituto NASCE (founded 2009), operates five social projects (Casa de Apoio Ebenézer, CEIBCA, SCFV, Casa Amparo, Projeto Crescer) targeting families in social vulnerability with services in education support, oncology care, dental care, and food assistance. Leadership is provided by Pastor Presidente Jesus Aparecido dos Santos Silva and a Diretoria board with multiple VPs and a Fiscal Council.
