Recently became a new member of First Dallas? Join Ryland Whitehorn, Executive Pastor of Ministries for First Step where you will learn the beliefs, ordinances, ministries, staff, and campus of First Baptist Dallas.

Ryland Whitehorn
Executive Pastor of Ministries
Ryland believes the church should be the center of our community, operating as a New Testament church to serve as “home” for thousands of people. Ryland and his wife, Renea, have two married daughters, Shea and Kelsi, and three grandchildren.

John Bernard
Minister of Member and Guest Connections
Motivated to help others plug into First Dallas, John connects visitors and new members to Sunday School, membership, and ministry. When he’s not spending time with his wife, Cheryl, their three daughters, or six grandchildren, John is likely officiating a local sports event or relaxing on a beach somewhere.
