About Us
Here at First Christian Church Baton Rouge we affectionately refer to ourselves as FCCBRLA. We are proud of our denomination, The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and our region, The Great River Region of the Christian Church (DOC). We are unique in that we are the only Disciples congregation in the Baton Rouge area.
We value youth and children; we support families of all arrangements; we believe in reaching out and connecting with the wider community and we are committed to growing together spiritually. We are proud of our congregation, where we have come from, and we also strive to push our congregation to be as faithful as possible, growing with one another in Christ and in our relationships with God. We hope you will join us to find out what our faith family is all about!

Don Bohlcke
On May 1, 2012 Rev. Don Bohlcke joined FCCBRLA to serve as Transitional Senior Minister. Don grew up in Louisiana, in Shreveport. He received his BA degree from TCU, and received his seminary degree from Brite Divinity School. Following his freshman year at TCU he was the founding minister of the First Christian Church of Bossier City La. During his seminary years he served as youth minister and associate minister of Lubbock View Christian Church in Lubbock Texas. Upon graduation from seminary, he was called as Youth Minister, and Campus Minister with First Christian Church in Houston, Texas. When the senior minister in Houston left to become the Church Relations Director for TCU, Don was called to University Christian Church in Austin to serve as Campus Minister at the University of Texas. He served there for eight years before being called to the First Christian Church in Richardson Texas as senior minister. As a Transitional Minister Don has now served ten different churches, from suburban churches around Dallas, to inner city churches in Dallas, as well as churches in west Texas, Virginia and Oklahoma.Location & Directions
