First Baptist Church has been ministering in our community for over 75 years. Established in 1944, our church is committed to the preaching of God's Word, the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ, corporate worship, and the equipping of the people to grow and share their faith.

The city of Belle Chasse is located just 7 miles from downtown New Orleans, LA on the storied West Bank. Our church is located on Highway 23 in Belle Chasse, LA, just past the local high school and post office, and just 1.9 miles north of the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base of New Orleans. Our congregants are eager to welcome new visitors and help you to feel at home whether you are here for just one Sunday or many.

​If you have any questions regarding our church, please fill out a Connect form and someone will contact you.

First Baptist Church of Belle Chasse is excited to welcome Noah Austin as our worship leader.

Noah is a graduate of Texas Baptist College in Fort Worth, TX and will be attending New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary beginning in January of 2023 to pursue a Master of Divinity in Church Planting. He was raised in Austin, TX and was called into Christian ministry at the age of 17. Noah enjoys singing, playing the guitar, and writing songs for the local church.

Noah promises to be a beneficial addition to our church staff and we are excited to see what God does in and through him during his time of service at our church.

Join us on Sunday, January 15 as we welcome Noah to FBCBC!

Current Sermon Series: Christian Conduct - A Survey of 2 Corinthians.

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in Christ’s triumphal procession and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place. For to God we are the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To some we are an aroma of death leading to death, but to others, an aroma of life leading to life. Who is adequate for these things? For we do not market the word of God for profit like so many. On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God.
2 Corinthians 2:14-17
​Take a moment to imagine your favorite smells. What do those smells remind you of? Smell is a powerful sense and it is closely tied to memory. For me, the aroma of crayons takes me right back to the halls of my elementary school. The distinct fragrance of ChapStick reminds me of my father because he always wore it and I would smell it on his person as I grew up. Smell often causes our minds to be flooded with memories of people, places, events, and even activities.

In the same way, Paul wrote in his second letter to the church in Corinth that Christians and the church should serve as the "aroma of God." In other words, the presence of the church should be a reminder to the world of the goodness of God. The way that forgiveness is experienced in the church should be a reflection of the forgiveness given by God. The transformation that takes place in the lives of Christians is a reflection of God's power. The perseverance of the church is a reflection of God's provision. The list goes on and on. 

As the "aroma" of God in the world, Christians are expected to adhere to a code of conduct. This code includes difficult commands such as forgiving those who do us wrong, holding brothers and sisters in Christ accountable to their calling, giving God praise in good or bad times, and trusting in God when it makes no logical sense to do so. These qualities and so many others are detailed in 2 Corinthians. Over the next few weeks, we will explore those commands of Christian conduct and expound upon our duties as Christ-followers.

Worship with us.
One way to worship with us is to attend a worship service on Sunday mornings. Our worship services are held once a week at 10:30AM on Sunday mornings. A typical service consists of worship through song, prayer, and a sermon from our pastor. We encourage families to worship together at First Baptist Church. Children ages 5 and up are invited to join us in worship and childcare is provided for children ages 4 and under. Our desire is that every member of your family will find worship at First Baptist Church to be engaging, edifying, and inspirational.

The worship gathering is not meant to be your family's one exposure to God's word per week, but rather it is meant to supplement the study of the Bible taking place in your home and to celebrate how you and your family are living for God outside of the church. 

To view our video library of past worship services, visit our Watch page. Or, you can listen to past sermons in a podcast format by visiting our Listen page.

Another way to worship with us is to join a small group. We have a number of groups for all ages meeting on Sunday mornings at 9:30. If you would like to be contacted with more information about small groups, please fill out a Connect form and someone will contact you.

Worship through service.
The most effective means of growing in your relationship with Christ and with the church is to serve. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our areas of service are somewhat limited, but we do have needs in our nursery, children's ministry, worship team, and production team. If you would like to volunteer in any of these or other areas in our church, please fill out a Serve form and we will contact you.

Worship at home.
The most effective and lasting faith training happens at home. We want to encourage you to worship with your family and study God's word in your home. Joining us for a worship service is wonderful, but worship is a lifestyle. We want to encourage you to invite the Holy Spirit into your home and worship outside of the church as well as inside.

Worship services will be live-streamed via Facebook Live at 10:30Am on Sundays, and past services are available on our YouTube Channel.

Worship through giving.
To keep our church financially healthy and able to do ministry, we need the financial support of our members and of those who feel led to give. Please use our online giving system to give your tithes and offerings so that the ministry of First Baptist Church of Belle Chasse may continue today and in the future.

What our church members are saying:

"I love that our church is a praying and loving church body. I love our church unity and the willingness of the members to jump in and volunteer when they see a need. We are a strong, Bible-based church that is doctrinally sound. You can feel the presence of the Lord here." -Tammy A.
"FBCBC welcomes you with open arms. It truly is family to us! Jesus Christ is the foundation of our church. God's word is taught and we are encouraged to live for Him. Come just as you are!"
- Florene and Tina F.
“As a military family, we always look and are quick to evaluate whether a church identifies and welcomes new faces on Sunday mornings. Since our first day in 2018 we have felt very welcome here in this church. It’s not just a place we go on Sundays. The members are our friends, family, and support while we continue to navigate military moves and orders.” - Luther W.
