Meet First Baptist Church Dallas
Located in the heart of downtown, First Baptist Dallas is built on the Bible and continues its mission to transform the world with God’s Word, one life at a time.
As a multi-generational church community, they meet needs through a variety of worship experiences, Sunday School and discipleship options, mission opportunities, fellowship, and outreach events.
Managing 1.5 million square feet
First Baptist Dallas needed a director of facility management who would oversee the campus buildings, grounds, and parking garages, as well as lead and manage the facilities team. This person would ultimately be responsible for the safety and cleanliness of the facilities to prepare the property for church services and ministry activities.
A multi-faceted role
Vanderbloemen has partnered with First Baptist Dallas for many successful hires, and this time was no different. First Baptist Dallas partnered with Eric Albert, an executive search consultant, who spent time getting to know their staff and what they needed in the facilities director.
The team needed someone who would fit in with the entire staff. First Baptist Dallas hires Christ-centered professionals who are disciplined, talented, and committed to teamwork for the sake of their mission.
They needed a candidate who was trustworthy and capable while sharing a heart for God’s Word with the entire staff. They hoped to find someone with experience and education to equip them for the multifaceted role.
A “stellar slate”
Eric and Will Hancock, an executive search recruiter, pulled together a collection of highly qualified candidates, one First Baptist Church Dallas called a “stellar slate” to choose from.
Tim Castilaw quickly stood out as their future director of facilities management. With approximately 15 years of facility management, Tim fulfilled every hope of having a capable and experienced candidate join the team. Coming from a similar role in Central Missouri, he and his family were thrilled to move to the DFW area.
