First United Methodist Church was founded in this rough-and-tumble environment by a small society of Christians called Methodists. The church had no building, and pastors were visiting circuit riders. It was still simply known as Shreveport Methodist Church in 1845 when it built the citys first small meeting house on Market Street and shared it with the Baptists and Presbyterians. Today First United Methodist Church lifts its steeple high above the city a symbol of the same, simple hope that marked the churchs founding: the desire to serve God and reflect the abiding love of Jesus Christ. We are dedicated to the enrichment of our community through discipleship, leadership, small groups and missions. All are welcome!
