The Belle Chasse Community Methodist
Church resulted from a merger of the Belle Chasse Community Church, which
was organized in 1944. The first service of the "new" church was
on May 26, 1963. It was led by Dr. Carl F. Lueg, the District Superintendent
of the New Orleans District. The church's first pastor was Dr. Adrian
Serex. There were 100 charter members in the congregation.
It officially became a Methodist Church on July 30, 1963.
How to Get There: Head
south on Hwy 23 from the Westbank. When you get to Belle Chasse, the Hwy
reaches the Mississippi River and makes a sharp bend to the right.
You'll see Belle Chasse High School on your right. The church is
just past the curve to your left.
