The church began in 1956, largely
due to the population influx of oilfield workers. Throughout
its history, it has been on a circuit with the Golden Meadow church.
The only church on the island was Catholic, but most of the workers who
moved in were Protestant. So the Methodists and Baptists both organized
churches to serve them.
The congregation is proud of
their ministry of hospitality. The church has a living area that
is offered to clergy and other church servants as a place for retreat and
renewal. The waves breaking on the beach can be seen from the church’s
stairway.
How to Get There:
Take Hwy 1 into Grand Isle. About 1/4 mile past the Post Office,
turn left onto Oak Lane. The church will be on the left.
