Join us for a church wide Luncheon on Monday, April 25 with Dr. Fred Luter.

Pastor Fred Luter, Jr. was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 11, 1956. He has been married to his “Prime Rib” Elizabeth Luter since 1980. They are the proud parents of one daughter, Kimberly Luter-Terrell, one son, Pastor Fred “Chip” Luter, III, son-in-law, Howard Terrell, daughter-in-law, Jasmine Luter, and grandparents of one grandson, Fred Luter, IV, and one granddaughter, Zoe Grace Luter.

Pastor Fred Luter, Jr., the first African American President of the Southern Baptist Convention, is the Senior Pastor at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Fred Luter, Jr. began his ministerial journey on what he refers to as his “Damascus Road Experience.” In 1977, a motorcycle accident seriously injured his body but ultimately saved his soul. As a result of the accident, he made a conscious decision to surrender his life entirely to Christ. Every Saturday, on the street corner of Galvez and Caffin Avenue in the Lower Ninth Ward, Luter would preach the gospel to all who wanted to hear.
