Keachi Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church on Louisiana Highway 172 in Keachi in Desoto Parish, Louisiana. The building was constructed in about 1880 in a transitional architectural style, between late Greek Revival and the Gothic Revival.[2] It was added to the National Register in 1988.[1]
It has auditorium-style seats which appear to have been salvaged from the former Keachi Female College, across the roadway.[2]
It is significant as representing the persistence of the Greek Revival style in Desoto Parish well after the Civil War.[2]
