First Emanuel Baptist Church

This is the church my family grew up in..starting with my great aunt Te-te and my grandmother Alma and my mother Cynthia then me Shawn I was christened & baptized under Rev. Samuel Hadley..then my daughter Shawnese christened and baptized under Rev Charles Southall..and her I am 49 years later still attending, singing and praising God under his leadership..there’s now other place or leader that I’d rather be under than Hod leading my Pastor to lead me..

I inherited the love for this church as my father and aunt were part of the Gospel Soul Children a family friend invited us years before Katrina when I was only in high school. Not knowing I would attend with my mother in law and we had to return after the storm now bringing up our family in First Emanuel there couldnt be a better place. God bless Pastor daily , all staff and members as we're always enriched spirtually.

My mom Pastor Emeritus Elder Mary Banks & I knew his father, my mom's preached with his father. Dr. Southall did a great Eulogy when I was there

I went here for a funeral, but the pastor of the church was awesome.

If you come to praise Lord, this is the place to be, we are a church with a vision and have faith to act.

Great teaching Pastor Southhall.

Great Worship!!! I really love the 7:30am service.
