Overview

"The Big D" described by Christianity Today associate editor Edward Gilbreath is a big center for a down-to-earth, back-to-basics kind of Christianity. What's happening in Dallas/Fort Worth has great influence on believers across the country and around the world. We can learn a lot from Dallas and from its biblical counterpart, Antioch. In this study, we visit the two cities with a great history of faith and missionary zeal.
