What to Expect
A Disciples of Christ Congregation
We are a Disciples of Christ congregation. The Disciples of Christ are a movement of more than 3,000 congregations in the U.S. and Canada committed to sharing the limitless love of God throughout the world. We welcome all to the Lord's Table, as Jesus welcomed us.
Unity
All believers and seekers are welcome, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation.
Weekly Communion
Disciples celebrate the Lord's Supper weekly with all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Baptism
Disciples baptize by immersion but recognize the baptisms of other faiths.
Freedom of Belief
Where the Bible speaks, we speak. Where it is silent, we are silent — guided by conscience and the Holy Spirit.
Independence
Our churches are congregationally governed, while affiliated regionally and nationally.
Women in Ministry
We recognize and celebrate the leadership of women in ministry.
First Christian Church Baton Rouge is a Disciples of Christ congregation shaped by worship, Christian unity, and a deep commitment to loving God and loving people.
