Announcing Wood Street Worship

A New Expression of Worship at FPC Dallas

Our church family is known in Dallas for taking bold steps to live out the Gospel. Throughout our history, time and time again, we have not been afraid to innovate. We are always willing to open our doors in new ways for those who are not yet finding and following Jesus at our church.

To this end, we have been asking, "How can FPC Dallas reach a changing Dallas with the Gospel?". After a year and a half of prayer, study, and collaboration with members from all over our congregation, we believe that the answer to this question is a new expression of worship to complement the already incredible worship taking place here at our church.

What is Wood Street Worship?

Wood Street Worship is a new expression of worship that will both complement and be stylistically unique to the two other services already taking place here. This band-led service will offer the same rich teaching, liturgy, and roots that we have always been committed to. It’s going to be a service that you’ll want to see for yourself, and then you’ll want to bring your friends and family back as well.

Why are we launching a third service?

We're launching Wood Street Worship with a clear purpose: to reach people who are not yet following the way of Jesus. Our roots run deep. We care for each other, prioritize spiritual development, and our traditional services of worship are often transcendent. However, the church is incomplete if we are only faithful to the needs of the people who are already here. Our roots need to run as wide as they do deep. The church must grow, the Gospel must be proclaimed, and that is the singular purpose of Wood Street Worship.

When does it start?

Wood Street Worship is launching before the end of 2021, with some sneak-peak preview services taking place before that. We'll let you know when you can come experience Wood Street Worship for yourself. After it launches, worship will be at 10 am on Sunday mornings in Byrd Hall, off of our pedestrian friendly entrance on Wood Street.

Where will it be?

Wood Street Worship will be held in Byrd Hall. This multi-purpose room has served us well for decades, and now we are upfitting it to better support the worship that will be taking place here. For the past few months, with the help of a working group, we've been dreaming about what a reimagined room would look like, and we’ve engaged interior designers at Good, Fulton, and Farrell, as well as audio/visual designers at Electro Acoustics to help us make this a reality. With their help, we’ve created a space that is not just excellent for worship, but an improved space to host gatherings for our congregation of all types.

How can I help?

Your help is needed as we build this new expression of worship together.

Pray. Pray fervently for those who don't follow Christ to come to Wood Street Worship to learn more about him. Pray for our worship leaders and service planners as they seek God's will in creating this new expression of worship.
Invite. Even if this service isn't for you, be thinking about friends and family that this might be a great fit for. Be thinking about ways to let the people you care about know that there is a new service that is right for them.
Serve. We’ll need a few sets of hands to make this happen. If your curious about how you might be part of this, how God can use your gifts in small and big ways to reach others, let us know. Doing so isn't making a commitment, it is just letting us know you'd like to learn more.
