It is the mission of the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church to seek Jesus Christ as our Lord, and to worship God in Spirit and in Truth as a Christian family.We furthermore desire to follow the commandment Jesus stated in John 15:12. “That ye love one another as I have loved you.”

Also it is our mission to evangelize individually and collectively by spreading the gospel to the saved and unsaved, in our family, community and world; and ministering to the spiritual, physical, social needs of the church family, neighborhood and community to fellowship with one another in a caring and sharing manner.

Rev. Bruce D. Datcher

Senior Pastor

As a young Entrepreneur, Bruce D. Datcher dedicated his career to providing services to under‐ represented citizens throughout the North Central Texas area. On April 22, 2001, Bruce D. Datcher was called by God to Preach the Gospel.

He answered the Call to Serve as Interim Pastor of the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas on July 13, 2003. One short year later, Reverend Datcher was installed as Ebenezer’s new Pastor on July 11, 2004.

His early years as Pastor were devoted to Youth Outreach to broaden the horizons for young people in the Stop Six community. He developed programs that provided mentorship and college assistance for students with financial needs. In 2006, Pastor Datcher was honored by The IMA of Dallas, as recipient of the Young Preacher of the Year Award.

After much prayer and direction from The Lord, Pastor Datcher led the Ebenezer Church Family in the planning and development of a 15,000 square foot Community Center to address the needs of their underserved community. Today, the Community Center is home to Senior Citizen Programs that help to end senior isolation. Seniors receive hot meals; engage in social activities, educated in health awareness and exercise programs. Through the efforts of the Community Center, hundreds of children receive year‐round services. These services include healthy meals, back packs, school supplies, coats, shoes and holiday gifts. The Community Center has been an inspiration to the entire City of Fort Worth, and such a source of pride and ownership to the residents of Stop Six that it is called The Brighter Outlook Community Center.

Pastor Bruce D. Datcher was recognized as the inspiration behind the Amon Carter Museum’s new Senior Outreach Program for seniors throughout Tarrant County. Details of the program were published in the July 6, 2012 edition of the Fort Worth Star Telegram. He is often featured in the Fort Worth Business Press for his many efforts in the Community.

Pastor Datcher holds a bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies from Aspen Christian College and a master’s degree from Aspen Theological Seminary. He received an Honorary Doctor of Letter Degree in May 2007, and currently is a Candidate for Doctor of Philosophy in Biblical Preaching (Newburg Theological Seminary).

After serving as General Secretary of the Texas State Missionary Baptist Convention for nine years, he was elected the ninth President of Texas’ second oldest convention, October 16, 2013, TSMBC.

On February 1, 2013, Pastor Datcher was recognized as Recipient of the R. E. Price Community Service Award. He serves on the Site‐based Team for the Paul L. Dunbar Young Men Leadership Academy – FWISD; The Mayor’s Faith‐ based Cabinet – City of Fort Worth; Faith-based cabinet of Congressional District 33, and most recently recognized by Fort Worth Inc.
