 Long standing, old-fashioned church |
305 West Broadway Fort Worth, TX 76104 United States +1 817 336 5761 http://www.broadwaybc.org/ |
Established in 1883, this church was organized and ordained to combat the gambling and prostitution establishments that seemed to have taken over the city. It was first known as South Side Baptist, but in the mid-1890s the name was changed to Broadway Baptist Church. The place remains in the heart of downtown in its "modified Gothic" structure. The design features the shape of a cross, a choir loft, vaulted ceilings, arched doorways and balconies. Its ministries include an adult clothing room, AIDS care team, food pantry, chapel choir, parents day out and youth services. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The world's largest Protestant seminary |
2001 West Seminary Drive Fort Worth, TX 76122 United States +1 817 923 1921 http://www.swbts.edu/ |
The largest Protestant institution of its kind, this school began as an offshoot of the Baylor Theology department and became a separate entity in 1907. In 1910, the school moved from Waco to its present location in Southwest Fort Worth. Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary offers bachelor and master's degrees in three disciplines: theology, educational ministry and church music. There are currently 20,000 students enrolled. The A. Webb Roberts Library houses the Tandy Archeological Museum, a small collection of biblical artifacts open to the public. Here you'll find maps, pottery and tools from the biblical town of Timnah, where Samson is said to have lived. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic church in use for over a century |
1206 Throckmorton Street Fort Worth, TX 76102 United States +1 817 332 4915 http://www.fwdioc.org/ |
This building, designed by James J. Kane in the Gothic Revival style, has been in use since its completion in 1892. It features stunning hand-painted stained glass windows, which came over from Munich the year of the church's dedication. The church's bell was cast in 1889. Though damaged by the recent tornadoes that ripped through much of downtown Fort Worth, St. Patrick Cathedral still holds mass twice daily for the faithful. It was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1908. Review © 2007, Wcities |
