About Us
Here at First Christian Church Baton Rouge we affectionately refer to ourselves as FCC BRLA. We are proud of our affiliation with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination and the Great River Region of the Christian Church (DOC). We are unique in that we are the only Disciples congregation in the Baton Rouge area.
We value youth and children; we support families of all arrangements; we believe in reaching out and connecting with the wider community and we are committed to growing together spiritually. We are proud of our congregation, where we have come from, and we also strive to push our congregation to be as faithful as possible, growing with one another in Christ and in our relationships with God.

Worship Times and Directions
Services
8:30 a.m. Traditional but Informal
10:50 a.m. Traditional
At this service, our chancel choir sings, an acolyte processes, and minister, choir and acolyte are in robes. There is a children's moment. Communion is weekly and served by deacons. An offering is collected by the deacons, as well. First time visitors receive a gift from FCC. This service lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes and generally worships between 150 and 200 people.
6:10 p.m. Contemporary
This service is being offered every 2nd and 4th Sunday. Based on Romans 6:10 which states "The life we live we live for God", our '610' service is a participatory experience with a live band and uplifting music. A spiritually-based message and communion are an integral part of this worship service. This service currently worships around 70 people. Come in casual attire and enjoy this new, upbeat worship with us. A children's nursery is available.
A word about children...
Children are always welcome in worship at FCC. Our excellent nursery offers childcare for all Sunday services. Coloring Books are located in the narthex. Children's Church takes place for those ages 3-7 during the 10:50 am service immediately following the children's message.

Safe Space for Meeting
First Christian Church is very grateful for the campus that we have and are able to use for various church functions. We also realize that many organizations need a safe space to meet for their own meetings, apart from church events. For this reason we open our space to various community organizations.
AA meets on our campus three times a week in the Baker Building - please visit their website for more information.
Old Hammond Group - Tuesdays 7:00pm - O/BB
Women's Journey - Wednesdays 6:00pm - O/D
Old Hammond Group - Saturdays 7:00pm - O/D
The Berean Homeschool Co-Op also meets during the school year. If you have an interest in the Berean Homeschool Co-op please contact the church office.
