Thai-Lao Baptist Church is part of the Southern Baptist Convention and was founded by Rev. Savang Lin in 1983. For over 30 years and four generations of families later, the church serves primarily Thai and Lao people from all over the Bay Area in California but has grown to 4 different worship teams and become somewhat an international congregation. Worship songs are done in English, Thai and Lao and services are translated into English from Thai.
