The Criswell Center History

No project of this magnitude is ever accomplished without teams of gifted, talented, and dedicated individuals who pour themselves into the task. First Baptist Dallas is blessed to have assembled such teams. The Criswell Center is the product of their prayer, expertise and hard work.

Members of the church family, and even many non-members, have given sacrificially, prayed fervently, and watched with anticipation for this new day.
