Dallas lists 953 congregations in the Churches List directory across 61 ZIP codes and 40 traditions. Baptist congregations lead at 298, with Non-Denominational churches second at 114, a pairing that marks Dallas as the southern anchor of the Texas church-planting corridor that runs up Interstate 35.

Church of God congregations hold 66 listings, Methodist 55, Church of Christ 48, and Catholic 47. Church of God in Christ adds 37 and African Methodist Episcopal 26, the core of South Dallas's historic Black church districts. Eight Dallas church buildings hold National Register listings, led by Cliff Temple Baptist Church in Oak Cliff (listed 1980).

Which traditions have the most churches in Dallas?

Dallas's Catholic 47 is strikingly small for a city of its size, a third of Methodist and Church of Christ combined; the city's growth came after the railroad, not the mission trail, and its church stock shows it. The Baptist 298 spreads evenly from Oak Cliff to Lake Highlands, while the 114 Non-Denominational congregations cluster toward the northern growth arc.

How to choose a church in Dallas: a practical checklist

941 of Dallas's 953 listings carry a phone number and 192 publish a website. For a newcomer:

  • Use the Trinity River as your first filter. North Dallas and Oak Cliff/South Dallas are distinct church geographies; the map above makes the split obvious.
  • Expect multiple Sunday services at the larger congregations. Dallas churches commonly run two or three, which loosens schedule constraints.
  • Check the suburbs honestly. With 61 ZIP codes inside the city line and dozens of suburbs beyond it, the right congregation may sit in Plano or Garland; the state and county pages extend the search.

How this guide was assembled

The Churches List directory snapshot of June 11, 2026 records 953 congregations inside Dallas across 61 ZIP codes. 941 of those listings carry a phone number and 192 carry a website. National Register status comes from the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places database; 8 Dallas churches hold listings. Churches List does not rank congregations: the table sorts alphabetically within record-completeness groups, and the directory applies corrections submitted by churches, usually within two business days, through the corrections page.
