First United Methodist Church

Located in the heart of downtown for over 90 years, First United Methodist Church is embarking on a bold vision to plan for the next 90 years of ministry, leadership, and service. The $40 million expansion includes a new domed fellowship rotunda, a multipurpose worship space, and a major expansion to the children’s wing.

Dunaway’s landscape architects are assisting in designing streetscape improvements, planting and irrigation design, wayfinding signage, and a new relocated outdoor children’s playground. Other services being provided are foundation design, building structural design alternatives, boundary, topography, and final platting. Entitlement processing includes Downtown Design Review Board, Downtown Fort Worth Inc., Historic Cultural & Landmark Commission and City Plan Commission.
