“Looking for a place to worship?” That’s the question that led to the founding of First Haitian Baptist Church of Boston in October 1969. A small group of Haitian brothers and sisters sought a space to connect with God and spread His Gospel.

Welcome to the First Haitian Baptist Church. This church stands as a testament to faith and community. It offers a warm welcome to all.

Rev. Dr. Verdieu Laroche joined the founding members. He became the church’s pastor. The current building at 397 Blue Hill Ave in Dorchester has a rich history. It was once a synagogue. The Jewish community called it Congregation Adath Jeshurun.

Adath Jeshurun used the temple from 1906. They provided space for the Jewish community. They also offered banquet facilities. Women and men sat together there breaking with tradition. They created youth programs.

In 1978, First Haitian Baptist Church bought the building. The members of First Haitian Baptist Church made it their own. Now, services are held in English Haitian Creole and French. Bible study and Sunday School are also offered.
