JERUSALEM CHURCH SERVES BAPTIST

The Jerusalem Baptist Church was organized in the year of our Lord and 
Savior Jesus Christ 1872.

The church is located on Grand Caillou Highway about two miles outside of 
the Houma City limits.

The property was donated to the Jerusalem Baptist Church by George 
Washington Cage and Thomas Mann Cage. The property is one acre square.

The Jerusalem Baptist Church is a religious corporation domiciled in 
Terrebonne Parish and is a branch of the African Baptist Church of the 
state of Louisiana created for the furtherance of religion and morality.

During the church's 100 year history it has had six pastors: Rev. 
Davenport, Rev. Hudson Thomas, Rev. T.L. Welch, Rev. T.J. Ellis, Rev. Saul 
Thomas and its present pastor, Rev. I.S. Holmes.

The Jerusalem Baptist Church is marching forward. We are working while it 
is day for we know the night cometh when no man can work.

Someday we will get our final notice to come home and receive our reward.
