  • The Beck Group

This organization has evolved over the years, including moving its Texas headquarters from Houston to Dallas in 1924. Only one year after founding the organization, Henry C. Beck, Sr. bought out the other partners, but maintained the company name until 1946 when it became the Henry C. Beck Company. In 1981, the named changed to HCB Contractors, and remained that until 1998 when the company changed its name to The Beck Group. In the past, Beck provided one segment of the delivery process - construction. Today, Beck provides one complete solution to our customer’s needs.

  • First Baptist Dallas Completes Largest Church Building Project in Modern History, Contributing to Ongoing Dallas Revitalization
    FOR INFORMATION CONTACT: FOR IMMEDIATE RELASE A. Larry Ross Communications Kristin Cole 972.267.1111 [email protected] Marchelle Michel 972.267.1111 [email protected] First Baptist Dallas Completes Largest Church Building Project in Modern History, Contributing to Ongoing Dallas Revitalization Historic Congregation Goes Against National Church Trend to Build New $130 Million Downtown Campus DALLAS, Feb. 1, 2013 – First Baptist Church of Dallas, led by nationally known pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress, will complete what is believed to be the largest church building campaign in modern history, opening a new state-of-the-art $130 million campus on Easter Sunday, March 31. “At a time when suburban megachurches are the norm and research shows that many people no longer feel the Church is relevant, First Baptist is committed to the Bible and to downtown Dallas,” said Jeffress. “People are hungry not for religion but for the Word of God. First Baptist Dallas is built on the Bible, and because of that we are growing.” This growth prompted First Baptist Dallas to embark on a building campaign in 2009, during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Though the popular trend among many churches is to acquire and retrofit unused buildings or open smaller, satellite campuses in the suburbs, First Baptist chose to remain in the heart of Dallas – a place where it has been located since its founding in 1868 – in order to continue to serve the residents, business community and guests of Dallas and the surrounding Metroplex. - more - The new First Baptist campus is part of an extensive and impressive ongoing revitalization of downtown Dallas, following the recent opening of several multimillion- dollar museums, theaters and parks.
