Dallas Escorts: Dwelling Together
The history of Broadway Baptist is closely linked with that of Fort Worth. In 1873, the city’s First Baptist Church had a modest 27-member congregation and met in a building about a half-mile from the infamous Hell’s Half Acre, where gambling and prostitution were rampant. A few church members wanted First Baptist to more aggressively pursue the salvation of the area’s sinners. When they couldn’t convince the others, those members joined with a group that split off from First Baptist in 1882 to found the church that would eventually be renamed Broadway Baptist.

Others, however, see it as just the first step on Broadway’s path of independent decisions.
