First Baptist Church, Megachurch in Downtown Dallas, United States

The First Baptist Church occupies several buildings across five blocks, featuring a 3,000-seat worship center with modern architectural elements spanning 178,000 square feet.

Founded in 1868 at the Masonic Hall on Lamar Street, the congregation purchased their first building in 1872 and laid the cornerstone of the current sanctuary in 1891.

The church maintains extensive educational programs through First Baptist Academy of Dallas and Criswell College, while operating KCBI radio station for religious broadcasting.

The facility offers three Sunday worship services, including choir and orchestra performances at 9:15 and 11:00, plus band-led worship in the Wicker Gym.

The 2013 renovation project cost 130 million dollars, making it the most expensive Protestant construction project in modern United States history.
