First Baptist Church in downtown Dallas is both historical and iconic architecture. The church was originally built in 1872 and in 2010, a new sanctuary and educational buildings were built. It was the church's desire to create an iconic fountain feature at the main entry to the campus creating a magnificent display of water that included 27 jets, programmed to music. With a 35' tall cascading pedestal of white water centered in the oval basin, along with a 20' tall stainless steel cross atop the pedestal, a 60' long weir effect with scripture inlaid in terrazzo, this impressive feature puts a stamp on downtown Dallas as a must see - and hear - destination.

This signature feature at the heart of the new $130M Campus would not be possible without the hard work and determination of your highly skilled team. Time after time you stepped up to produce mockups, small and large, to insure the water would flow properly and produce the correct amount of foam. This was a laborious process, no doubt, but central to a successful completion and you did it all with a smile on your face. Thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty to make the project a huge success. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
