Historic First Baptist Dallas Sanctuary Engulfed in Fire

A historic sanctuary at First Baptist Dallas, a Southern Baptist megachurch, faced a significant four-alarm fire causing damage and a roof collapse. The church, with connections to prominent Christian leaders, expressed gratitude that no injuries were reported and thanked first responders for containing the fire. Pastor Robert Jeffress, who left the church just before the fire, shared emotional memories tied to the sanctuary and praised God for protecting the congregation, including over 2,000 kids from a recent event. Efforts to investigate the cause of the fire are ongoing as the church plans to continue its services despite the damage.
