Baptists might be 3rd or 4th in that area.

Which means a Baptist congregation on every 3rd or 4th block :-). But I see your point, and given Rev. Graham's age and state of health, it's unlikely he'll be a regular attendee, so the distance may not matter.

Yes, it’s not like he’s been a regular at FBC Dallas over the last few years.

Any move would have been seen as a mark against FBCDallas or an endorsement of another pastor, so it probably made sense to leave his membership where it was.

FBCSpartanburg looks like a local megachurch (claims 6500 members) with a pastor who’s not really a household name. Looks like he’s had ties to the Graham organization for some time:

“Dr. Wilton has served on numerous occasions as a faculty member at the Billy Graham Schools of Evangelism across the US and Europe, as well as teaching seminars at the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove. “
