Worshiping Jesus in the Language of Our Heart
Casa Brasil was born in 2019 as an expression of God's care for the Brazilian community in Johns Creek, Georgia. Founded by Pastors Rafael and Ivette Llano, in partnership with the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta, the church emerged as an extension of the On The Way Church, which since 2017 has welcomed Spanish speakers, especially Venezuelan refugees. What started with small home groups quickly grew in fellowship, worship, and service. Today, Casa Brasil is a vibrant and growing community, gathering Brazilian families to worship Jesus in their heart language.
To be a church that proclaims the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus Christ, loving and serving our neighbor.
To be a family of faith serving the Brazilian community through the teaching and preaching of the Word of God, fellowship among brothers and sisters, and worshiping Jesus in the language of our hearts.

We believe that the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. The Bible is the supreme source of truth and alone constitutes the divine rule of faith and Christian practice.
We believe in one God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect, Almighty, Omniscient, Omnipresent, and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as the complete and final sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Furthermore, He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He intercedes for His people and reigns as Lord over all. Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is God, the third person of the Trinity, whose ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate the believing sinner. He indwells, comforts, guides, instructs, and empowers believers for godly living and service.
We believe that mankind was created in the image and likeness of God to have fellowship with Him but fell into sin and is therefore lost, incapable of restoring relationship with God through his own efforts; salvation is attained by grace through faith in Jesus' sacrifice, and this is not a natural attribute, but a gift from God.
We believe the Gospel is the good news of Jesus: the message that Christ died for our sins and rose again. We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the sole basis for justification and salvation for all who believe in their hearts and confess with their mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, being born of the Holy Spirit and thus becoming children of God.
We believe that the true Church is composed of all persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united in the body of Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church and that each local church has the right under Christ to govern its own affairs. The members of the Church are those who trust by faith in Christ's finished work. The purpose of the Church is to glorify God by leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus and making Him known to the world.
We believe in the resurrection of the dead, both the saved and the lost: the saved to eternal life in heaven with glorified bodies, and the lost to eternal condemnation.
