Lanier Baptist Church

About this church

Lanier Baptist Church gathers at 4851 Lanier Drive in Baton Rouge. Sunday begins with morning Bible study at 9 a.m., worship at 10:20, and evening worship at 6. The congregation describes itself as deeply rooted in love and invites people to connect, grow in faith, and become useful in God's kingdom. Pastoral leadership includes a dedicated youth and outreach role focused on the neighborhoods surrounding the church, while music ministry helps worshipers connect through praise and relationships.

The church traces its origin to twenty-three people who began meeting in 1954 and asked Fairfield Baptist Church to sponsor a mission. The first Fairfield Baptist Mission service was held in 1957, and the congregation became Lanier Baptist Church the following year. That history of sponsored mission now extends internationally through Hope Givers International, which rescues and educates orphaned, abandoned, and vulnerable children in India and seeks to prepare them as Christian leaders for their home communities. Local service, youth discipleship, worship, and global partnership support Lanier's stated desire to share the Father's love and forgiveness with a hurting world. Visitors who want more than a morning service can pair Bible study with worship or return for the distinct Sunday-evening gathering.
