Frank Wood, who was serving as pastor at University Baptist Church in Lake Charles, LA, returned as our pastor.
With tremendous growth also came tremendous growing pains.Parking at the downtown location became a real challenge.Space was always at a premium and the church had come to a major crossroad in it's short existence.After much praying and searching of God's will in this matter, the church body made the decision to step out on faith in order to relocate to a larger site in Rome.In 1993, God opened the doors to procure our present 15 ½ acre site in North East Rome on the corner of Loop 1 and Highway 53.
