We are a body of believers committed to worshipping and serving Jesus Christ. As Southern Baptists, we join with likeminded Christians in spreading the gospel around the world. Christ reached out to people of all ages and backgrounds and at the Northeast Louisiana Baptist Association we desire to do the same. That’s why you’ll discover here ministries geared to various life stages and needs. That’s why we have a place for everyone to study the Scriptures, fellowship together, and minister to others through numerous service opportunities.
We want you to be a part of the blessings of God in the life of our association. We’ll bring you updates often on just what’s happening at the Northeast Louisiana Baptist Association and share the stories of how Christ is making a difference in people’s lives.
To find a church near you look under Morehouse Parish Churches or Ouachita Parish Churches on the Home Page. Addresses and phone numbers are listed so you can contact a church in one of the associations.

What is a Baptist Association?
Many people who are unfamiliar with Southern Baptist life—perhaps even some people who have been Southern Baptists for years—have often asked that question. While the association has been defined in various ways, the simplest definition is “a self-governing fellowship of churches on mission.”
The 67 churches, missions, new works and satellites comprising Northeast Louisiana Baptist Association are composed of 52 congregations in Ouachita Parish and 15 churches in Morehouse Parish. While these churches and missions are diverse, they share a common goal. They are a family of churches, supporting, encouraging and caring for one another. They also share a common commitment to carry forth Christ’s mandate set forth in Acts 1:8, being witnesses of Jesus Christ both in their area as well as to the “uttermost part of the earth”.
