Donovan Burkett

In October of 1999, Donovan Burkett received the call from God to leave his home of Houston and move to Fort Worth with his wife and daughter to build a church. First Church of Fort Worth held its first service on a Sunday in July in a “small white church” in Benbrook, TX with a total of 7 people in attendance. Within a year the “small white church” was filled to capacity with 50 members. Lead Pastor Burkett anticipated the need for a larger space to hold the vision that God had given him for First Church and began to pray. A desire was born of God in Lead Pastor Burkett’s heart to establish ‘Preaching Points’ throughout Fort Worth and the surrounding suburbs. First Church operates with a 5-fold ministry and each of our ‘Preaching Points and Connect Points’ is a direct result of this proper aligning of ministry.
