Our Church
A Christ-centered community where faith grows, hope is renewed, and lives are transformed.
Our History
Around 1816, Thomas J. Fitzgerald, along with the Keating, Fitzmorris, and Dickson families traveled from Ireland to New Orleans. Mr. Fitzgerald received a land grant for property in St. Tammany and built a school on this property off of Kenzie Rd. Then a Sunday school started being held there. Mr. Fitzgerald also started the church in this area. People began meeting in local homes for worship. Between 1882 and 1908, a small box-like building with a dirt floor and hard benches was built where the Simalusa Cemetery is now located. Mr. John Ike Fitzgerald began teaching school and Sunday School at this building. Over the years, the church grew. In 1955, the old building was moved to it’s present location and renovated. In 1958, the school building and fellowship hall was added on. In 2002, the new Sanctuary was built. We are a small church with a large commitment to service for the community.
