    For being a nonprofit, the pastor can’t keep church and his political opinions separate

    My review is partially in response to the review of John D. about attending First Baptist Dallas. I will be visiting the church in the near future for the first time. I have watched “Pathway to Victory” for a number of years. I have also …

    If you are looking for a sea of wealthy white faces, this is a great place to go to feel better about yourself for looking down on people of color and thinking you’re better than them. It’s also where you can learn to accept the United …

  • P. Jason Poehler7 years ago

    The members can be charming and open, but the pastor is terrible! Why do they keep him on? I have walked out of two of his bigoted, hateful, closed-minded, “Old Testament” sermons and will not return while he is pastor. He brings disgrace on all Baptists by making us look foolish and angry and bitter. He is divisive and exclusionary when Baptist’s have so much love and healing to offer. He plays politics from the pulpit and goes on Fox “News” to spew his warped interpretation of the gospel when there is plenty to do and many to help here in Dallas. In fact, he brings shame on our whole city! As we look to make Dallas a more open, forward-thinking, progressive city of many cultures, backgrounds and religions, he’s trying to drag us back to dark old days of the 40’s and 50’s! Sad. I pity his cold, dark, closed heart and wish him mercy when he finds himself in front of his Maker. What will Christ think of his sermons?

    The best place I can go all the time! Peaceful, friendly, the place where I can have real meeting with God. That church is my home for 24 years now!!

  • Steven Berg3 years ago

    Aside from still being too pro-Trump, it's a great place. Also, they need to do more to attract younger people. Not very many young adults at all.

  • Stephen J. Lautenschlager7 years ago

    First Baptist Dallas Worship Center is an inspirational building and location with a very welcoming congregation. Parking is nearby for a short walk and there is a convenient drop-off area.

    Pastor Jeffress contributes to preach hate over love.

  • Lance Wilson8 years ago

    The rooftop blight of downtown Dallas. Apparently First Baptist can't afford paint.
