I’ve never been to First Dallas before. What do I wear?
We want you to feel comfortable joining us for worship just the way you are. When you arrive on campus, you will see people in everything from suits and dresses to jeans and button downs.
Do you have different service times?
Yes, we do. Celebration Worship is our choir and orchestra led service experience, which meets at 9:15 and 10:50am in our new Worship Center. We also have our band-led Day One Contemporary experience, which meets at 10:50am in the Historic Sanctuary.
I have children. Is there a place for them during worship?
Yes! We have a place for children from bed babies through sixth grade for Sunday School. Children from six-weeks-old to PreK can stay in Kids Cove from 9:15am until after the 10:50am worship service. Older children can be picked up after Sunday School and go to worship with you. If you would like to keep your children with you for the service, please enjoy our Family Room on Worship Center Level 2 where you can watch the service live in a comfortable atmosphere. You can learn more HERE.
You have a large campus. How will I find my way around?
While there are plenty of signs that can help you find your way, the best option is to stop by the Welcome Center in the Criswell Center Lobby or on Level 2 of the Worship Center. Our volunteer team can be found by their lanyards and would love to show you where you're going — and even walk with you to make sure you find your way.
