Born on May 6, 1867 on a farm in the mountains of North Carolina, George Washington Truett became one of the most influential pastors in the first half of the 20th Century. In 1897, at the age of 30, he became pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas. His stand for the infallible, inerrant Word of God, coupled with his impassioned preaching, helped build the church tremendously. During his 47 years of leadership, the church grew from 715 members to over 7,000.
NOTE: The original recordings of Dr. Truett were recorded on large transcription discs, which, when played on modern equipment, tends to alter the pitch and timbre of his voice, making it sound unlike it did in real life. They also alter the speed of his delivery. Our Pastor has reformatted several of these early recordings, and digitally restored them to closely resemble what Dr. Truett sounded like in real life, according to those who knew him and remember his voice well. We will be adding more of these restored recordings as they become available.
