About this church

First Baptist Shreveport is a Baptist congregation on Ockley Drive in the South Highlands area of Shreveport. Sunday begins with Bible study by age group at 9:15 a.m., followed by worship in the Sanctuary at 10:30 a.m. On Wednesday evenings the church hosts a family dinner called The Gathering in the Fellowship Hall, starting at 5 p.m., with a prayer meeting, small groups, choir rehearsal, and classes for children and students afterward. The church dates its beginning to 1845 and now occupies a nine-acre campus.

Children's classes serve babies through fifth grade, with worship childcare for babies through K4 and a cry room at the rear of the Sanctuary. Students in grades 6 through 12 meet in the Youth Center on Sundays and Wednesdays. Adults can join the Sanctuary Choir, which has no audition, the handbell choir, or the Singing Seniors for ages 50 and up. An Academy for the Arts offers lessons in music, dance, theater, and visual arts. Visitor parking is along College Avenue near the offices and Sanctuary, greeters at each entrance can point visitors to classrooms, and casual dress is common. Ramps and elevators are available.
