A young boy reads his Bible at Life Point Church In Marksville.MARKSVILLE – An emphasis on meeting community needs is growing a new church that meets in an 80-year-old building on this town’s Main Street.

What started with children now is spreading to their parents and other adults, said Jacob Crawford, church planter with his wife Allyson. About 70 people now attend Sunday morning services, out of a church family of about 120, two years after the services started with 10 people.
