In 1886, a church was built at Voiron (about one mile
south of Tigerville on Hwy 1). The pastor of that first church was Rev. J.M.
Bryant.
In 1927, Rev. L.A. Williams and his brother Angelin Williams
requested land in Tigerville (present-day Belle Rose). Property was purchased
from Clarence J. Savoie for $2. The church structure was moved to the new
location the following year (1928) under the leadership of Rev. R. Jones.
The present church was built in 1964. The Rev. W.C. August was the
builder of the structure. The lay leader at the time of construction was
Everette Levy, Sr.. They were led by the pastor, Rev. Walter Barabin, who had
been serving the church since 1957. |
