Paul Chappell, the senior pastor of Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California, and the president of West Coast Baptist College, wrote, “Praying for First Baptist Church Dallas and Robert Jeffress as their sanctuary, built in 1891, is on fire. Pastor Jeffress saw 114 saved today at his VBS and stands against the woke, and sinful movements in our nation.”
Oklahoma state senator and Southern Baptist Pastor Dusty Deevers said, “Historic downtown First Baptist Dallas is engulfed in flames. Pray for the church family.”
The Center for Baptist Leadership posted, “Everyone please lift up our SBC family at First Baptist Dallas right now. Their historic sanctuary is engulfed in flames. The cause of the fire (or any injuries) is still unknown. Pray for Dr. Jeffress, the members, and the safety of the first responders.”
