Rev. Joseph Johnson led in the
organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Waxia in 1888.
The church was built along the Bayou Waxia.
The church was moved to a better
location in 1901. Belle Phelps and Elizabeth Layne exchanged lots
with the church so that the new church location was on Hwy 395 (Waxia Rd.).
The name of the church was changed to St. Paul.
In 1963, the old church was
taken down and replaced with a new one.
For over 100 years, St. Paul
United Methodist Church has been and will continue to be a church where
minds and hearts are cultivated with the word of God. |

on the left. |
