First Baptist New Orleans

I was just beginning my road trip when I decided before I went on my way, I would stop by a local Baptist church to praise our savior, Jesus Christ. I’m sure glad I did because every single staff and member made me truly feel as though I was a part of their church community. Chad, the pastor, saw me sitting by myself and introduced himself to me and we had a nice conversation and it turns out he knew one of the pastors at my home church. (Small world!) Afterwards, I attended a Bible study class and while it wasn’t as big as my own (This class had about 12 people while my own class has over 70 weekly), I was able to be more confident and spoke up. It was a great discussion.

I highly recommend this church to anybody looking for a warm, loving, community that loves God. Even if you’re passing through (like I did), check out the service before leaving New Orleans. You won’t regret it! I’m recommending all my friends and everybody at Houston’s First to come here as their church away from their home church. Lord, bless Chad and this Church and it’s members!

Beautiful building aesthetic. Never attended a sermon, but a funeral and it was beautiful. I hadn't encountered anything negative on my first visit.

They graciously allowed Baptist Mission to set up on their campus in the time I was there we served 50,000 meals washed hundreds of loads of laundry and was able to provide basic recovery services people who had their homes destroyed by hurricanes ida. None of this would have been impossible without the gracious host first Baptist of New Orleans
