ABOUT
OUR STORY

Edgewater Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist Church situated in the heart of the Gentilly community of New Orleans. We aim to DELIGHT, DEVELOP, and DECLARE in Christ.

----------​

Edgewater Baptist Church was founded on October 19, 1951. Initially, Edgewater did not have a building and was allowed to meet in local theaters. Edgewater held morning services in the Gentilly Theatre and evening services in the Pitt Theatre. Eventually, Edgewater purchased land and completed the first structure in December of 1955. The first worship service was held on the first Sunday of 1956. As the church grew, other facilities were added in 1959 and 1964. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the church building. While the church was being rebuilt, the congregation met under a tent in the parking lot. Eventually, the congregation moved into the fellowship hall until the sanctuary was completed in July 2008.​

OUR VISION
Our purpose is to glorify God by making disciples of all nations.

We make disciples of all nations by DELIGHTING in Jesus, DEVELOPING into His image, and DECLARING Him as Lord and Savior to New Orleans and all nations.
At Edgewater, we gather to prepare to accomplish Christ's mission in this world by:
  • Teaching the truth of the Bible and training others to do so as well.

  • Developing genuine fellowship and taking care of one another as members of Christ's family.

  • Celebrating hope, forgiveness of sins, and the promise of His return through authentic worship.

  • Expressing dependence on Christ through diligent prayer.

 

The Church Scattered

At Edgewater, we scatter into the world to accomplish Christ's mission in this world by:

  • Exalting Christ through our lives, relationships, and church.

  • Intentionally developing relationships with our unchurched family members, friends, and acquaintances.

  • Sharing the Gospel.

  • Trusting God to work in such a way that only He gets the glory.

At Edgewater, we plan to accomplish Christ's mission in this world by:

  • Equipping every disciple for ministry service.

  • Ensuring every disciple knows, understands, and applies proper Bible doctrine.

  • Encouraging every disciple to mature and reproduce.

  • Enabling every disciple to participate in our mission.

Thank you for your tax-deductible gift.
