New Orleans attracts thousands of partygoers every year eager to let loose and turn up in the world famous French Quarter, but like the old folks say, “If you’ve got time to party then you’ve got time to get your praise on in the church.” Truth be told, New Orleans has far more to offer than drunken nights on Bourbon Street. A large percentage of its rich culture stems from its spiritual roots. It is home to some of the oldest Black churches in the world. These are also some of the same spiritual institutions Africans enslaved in America used to escape their slave quarters on plantations for peace more than a century ago. The religious history is extremely sacred to New Orleanians and kept well preserved as a sign of respect.
There are tons of events coming up right around the corner in the N.O. including Fourth of July weekend and the Essence Festival. We want to make sure that during your stay you and your friends or family have a local church to visit. From Catholic to Baptist and Methodist, there is a sanctuary fit for everybody to worship in.
