First Baptist Church of Lacombe members celebrated 75 years of ministry
in their community during anniversary ceremonies last fall.
The Louisiana Baptist church was established in 1925 with 11
members. It has had a total of 26 pastors since then and has grown to a membership
of almost 400 and an average Sunday School attendance of more than 150. The
church currently is planning to construct a new facility.
Glen Carver currently serves as pastor of the Lacombe church,
which celebrated its anniversary with a special service and dinner on the grounds.
During the ceremonies, former Pastor Keith Ivey delivered the
anniversary address and former Minister of Music Eddie Lightsey returned to
lead in music.
In addition, the church recognized Elise Clark, who has been
a member of the congregation since 1957. Church members helped Clark celebrate
her 90th birthday during the anniversary celebration.
