Our Legacy

Once upon a time in 1872, our small, determined congregation pooled their hard earned money together to purchase our first building, on Akard, in downtown Dallas.

The cornerstone of the sanctuary that we worship in today was laid in 1891.

Six city blocks, seven major buildings, and many fruitful years later, nationally recognized First Baptist Dallas, under the care of Pastor and Teacher, Dr. Robert Jeffress, is committed to serving the Lord by loving others well and standing firm on biblical truth.
