Welcometo Westside Emmanuel Baptist Church. For over 60 years the Lord has given us the privilege to minister in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to the heart of Bogalusa... because we believe that Bogalusa is on His heart.
Our mission is simple...
Love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind...
Love our neighbor as ourselves...
Matthew 22:37-40
Loving God and loving people... If you're looking for a church to call home then we'd love for you to drop by and see for yourself what the Lord is doing among us. Hope to see you soon.
Now is the time to join one of our G.R.O.W. groups.
One night a month
2 1/2 hours
- Write letters

- Personal visits
There will be a lot of different ways for you to be involved. Fill out the form if you'd like to join with us as we seek to grow in the Lord and as a church.
It's Time... This simple phrase is our battle cry for 2012 based on Romans 13:11 which sounds the alarm by declaring that now is the time to awaken... to draw closer to the Lord... to live like this might be our last year on earth... to live like you were dying.
How would your life change if you knew you had one year left?
Would your relationship to the Lord be different?
Would your relationship to people that you know be different?
Would you spend more time doing some things and less time doing others?
Isn't It Time to make those changes now?
Isn't It Time to awaken and become the Christian... the Family... the Church that God is calling us to be?
Isn't It Time? Yes! It's Time!
