Calvary United Methodist Church History
Date Founded: 1866
In 1866, the Freedman's Aid Society purchased a lot from Rachel Tabor. The Society was aimed at the "aiding of Colored People, who called themselves Christians." A building located elsewhere in the state was torn down and the lumber brought to Thibodaux by barge. Under the auspices of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, North, a church was established.
The original church was built in 1867 under the leadership of Rev. William Murrell. In 1885, the church was rebuilt under while Rev. G.W. Lacey was pastor. Although the roof was repaired in 1930, extensive renovation wasn't done until 1976 under Rev. Taft Bowie.
The Calvary United Methodist Church was used as a school for Black children until the 1920's, when the state established schools.
During the 1995 conference year, the church (which has stood since 1885) received a historical marker from the Commission on Archives and History.

Open our ears.
Blessed Lord, open our ears to hear what Thou speakest and our eyes to see as Thou seest. Give us hearts to beat in sympathy with Thine at the sight of every little child; and above all, our Lord, to understand and experience how surely and how blessedly Thou fulfilest Thy promise, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
