First Baptist Church is a Baptist congregation in St Francisville, Louisiana, with roots in the area dating to 1882. Early services were held in the courthouse until a church building on Ferdinand was completed in 1940. The church later purchased 5.75 acres for a new building in 1960, added five adjacent acres in 1990, and paid off all debt in 1995. The church also offers a Church Training Institute certificate course in missions. Joel Williams has served as senior pastor since April 2013.
