Welcome
First United Methodist Church of Baton Rouge is making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
"All You Can"
sermon series starts November 9!
Rediscover John Wesley’s timeless wisdom—earn all you can, save all you can, give all you can—as a blueprint for faithful living. Each week, we’ll explore how these simple yet powerful principles shape a life of purpose, generosity, and stewardship. Together, we’ll learn what it means to work with integrity, manage wisely, and give joyfully as acts of love toward God and neighbor. Join us as we seek to live fully and faithfully—doing all we can to honor God with our hearts, our hands, and our resources.

Love your neighbor van on wafb
Homelessness in Baton Rouge is a pressing issue. Approximately 400 individuals daily were looking for a shelter bed as of September 2024. Many face food insecurity, especially on weekends. A mobile breakfast service on Sunday mornings, called the Love Your Neighbor van, fills this gap by delivering meals to various locations, ensuring sustenance when other resources are unavailable. The van also provides clothing, basic first aid care, shoes, nutrition drinks, and more to our homeless neighbors.
Latest Sermon
When life feels stuck and prayers seem to go nowhere, it’s easy to wonder what God is up to. In Jesus’ story of the Persistent Widow, we’re reminded that God is on the move—and that our greatest purpose is to keep praying, hoping, and joining in God’s work until all things are made right.
