Central Congregational Church is part of the Presbyterian family of churches in The American Church Story. 121 congregations of the Presbyterian family gather across Louisiana — 11,639 across the United States on The Church Map.
Presbyterians gave American Christianity much of its backbone: seminaries, catechisms, and shared government by elders rather than by one man, a habit that shaped the country's civic life as much as its churches. They have been among the most persistent builders of colleges, hospitals, and mission agencies this nation has.

The community around Central Congregational Church
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly half of the people here live below the poverty line, and more than a third of adults say they are socially isolated. That is 2,200 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
