While closed during pandemic, Acadian Baptist Center opens new worship facility

By Message Staff

EUNICE, La. (LBM) – Acadian Baptist Center leaders recently celebrated the completion of their first ever worship center.

The $3 million, 18,000-sq.-ft. facility was finished May 13, and can accommodate up to 1,000 people. Construction began in April 2019.

Camp Director James Newsom said he appreciated the effort led by builder Joey West, a member of First Baptist Church in Pine Prairie, and architect Brodie Ardoin, a member of First Baptist Church in Ville Platte. Many others in the area volunteered to help with the project, Newsom said.

“The new worship center at ABC is an amazing miracle,” Newsom told the Baptist Message. “It is humbling to think thousands of young people will be worshipping there for many years to come even after we are long gone impacting our world for Christ.”

Acadian Baptist Center Director James Newsom looks forward to the day when they can host camps again. Submitted photo
