Historic Dallas Chapel Connected to Pastor Robert Jeffress Burns in 4-Alarm *****

First ******** ******* of Dallas, where Dr. Robert Jeffress is the senior pastor, was forced to hold its Sunday services at the Dallas Convention Center after a four-alarm ***** tore through the 134-year-old Historic Sanctuary of the ******* on Friday.

It took 100 firefighters to keep the ***** contained, but the damage to that chapel building was severe.

Pastor Clint Pressley of Hickory Grove ******** ******* in Charlotte, N.C. posted, “If the SBC (Southern ******** Convention) had a Notre Dame it would be FBC Dallas. This is heartbreaking. Praying the Lord is merciful.”

The building that burned dates back to 1890. The rest of the campus, which spans six blocks in Dallas, was preserved. 

While mourning the severe damage to the Victorian-style structure, Pastor Jeffress stated, “It’s not the building, it’s what that building represents: it represented the bedrock foundation of ****’s Word that never changes… We are going to rebuild and recreate that sanctuary as a standing symbol of truth,” Jeffress said.

Executive Pastor Dr. Ben Lovvorn delivered the sermon Sunday morning, saying, “We are disappointed, but we don’t despair, as the events of Friday night awakened a spiritual giant with incredible resolve.” 

Jeffress reminded his flock that on the Friday night of ******’ ******, it also appeared that evil had won, but on a Sunday morning, ****’s perfect plan prevailed. “We can count on the goodness and power of **** to sustain us in the days ahead,” he said.

“Let’s have the world see and say what happened Friday night was the best thing that happened to First ******** Dallas, because it caused them to double-down on their mission: to go to all the world and preach the gospel,” Jeffress concluded. “We’re going to make it through this, remember that historic place of worship and do everything we can to honor it. **** has great plans for First ******** Dallas.”

With 16,000 members, First ******** ******* of Dallas is one of the largest churches in the SBC.
