WOODWORTH – Just 14 months since ground was broken, the Georgia Barnette Conference Center is nearing completion, and a celebration is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 27, at 12:30 p.m. to dedicate the facilities located on the grounds of Tall Timbers.
The program of activities includes Louisiana Baptist leaders who will honor pastors, volunteers and other supporters who played key roles in the project.
The 8,400-square-foot facility was designed for flexibility, providing a 560-seat auditorium layout or the option to change the floor plan into six meeting rooms with a 280-seat general assembly space.
The center is named after Georgia Barnette, the first elected and paid Woman’s Missionary Union executive director/treasurer in Louisiana. Every year Louisiana Baptists collect the Georgia Barnette State Missions Offering.
