First United Methodist Church, Methodist church in Shreveport, Louisiana, US.
The building features six stone columns supporting a portico, with a prominent steeple rising above the Neoclassical facade at the intersection of Texas and Common Streets.
The congregation, established in 1845, constructed the current Neoclassical structure in 1913 after relocating to its present location in 1883.
The church maintains a broadcasting ministry that began in the mid-20th century, reaching audiences through local television with weekly sermon transmissions.
The facility accommodates over 1,000 members and includes several buildings added between 1940 and 1960 for expanded ministry and community programs.
Under Pastor D.L. Dykes Jr.'s leadership from 1955 to 1984, the church remained committed to downtown presence while advocating for racial integration.
