First United Methodist Church stands at the heart of downtown Baton Rouge as an anchor of stability for many of the people of our great city.  Since 1834, First Church has been a place to worship God, to learn the story of God's love, to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, and to serve the larger community. First Church is a place with open hearts, open minds and open doors, where people at all stages of their faith journey can feel comfortable and grow in discipleship.
