| As growth occurred in the western
area of St. Tammany Parish, the decision was made to start a new church
in the area. Twelve acres of land was purchased just north of Madisonville
on Hwy 21. In June 1999, Rev. Flint Shea was appointed to begin organizing
the new church. As of 2004, services were being held at the Maritime
Museum in Madisonville while funds were being raised for the construction
of the church facilities. The first building will be a 9.000 square
foot multipurpose unit, with seating for 300. It will include a large
meeting area, a kitchen, storage, office space, restrooms, a prayer room,
meeting rooms, and a nursery. The church will be equipped with audio-visual
technology as well. Parking is planned for 150 cars. |
