CHECK OUT OUR PROGRESS!
The above site plan gives an idea and scope of opportunities First Assembly of God Church intends to provide for the community and beyond.
There will be complete attention to the entire family with gatherings for every age group from newborn to senior adult. We look forward to completing the "Family Worship Center", the adult and children facilities, the complete cafe and the family counseling rooms.
The additional areas of opportunities that will be provided are: a complete camping site, confidence course and fishing pond; basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, football, paddle ball and a 3 story playground equipment set.
We are excited about our own Evangel House Christian Academy coming on board as a Verot School Road Campus Ministry. See http://www.evangelhouse.com/ for more information.
You are invited to be a part of fulfilling the desire of God's heart here at First Assembly of God: Being "A Place to Meet with God" so others may know Him.
God Bless.

In 1997, First Assembly of God, under the leadership of Pastors Bruce and Marsha Headley, purchased a beautiful parcel of property approximately 36 acres on Verot School Rd. It is located 2 miles south from the Verot School Rd and Ambassador Caffery St intersection. At the time of the purchase, traffic was minimal and the road had some residential homes with very few businesses. Today, this area of Lafayette Parish is the fastest growing area in the entire region of Acadiana and possibly the entire state both in residential homes and businesses.
Construction for a new school/church facility was started in 1998 with a gym, a football field and a partial educational building. This was to double as a church sanctuary until the resources were available to build a single purpose sanctuary. To date, the completed gym exists and the educational building is 50% complete.
Through much prayer and the leading of the Lord, as of November 2005 we are proceeding and moving forward with the completion of the educational building and the remodeling - expansion of the gym/sanctuary. There have been many prophetic words in the past few months and over the recent years that speak to this church's destiny and purpose which continues to confirm its DNA. That is a Revival Spirit with a heart of compassion and love for the people of its community and the world. We believe that Jesus still heals and transforms the individual and families through the power of His Spirit.

The top row photos are aerial shots of our current property locations. The top left photo represents the church at its 605 location when it was built in the 60's. South College Rd was a gravel surface and the church was surrounded by fields. The center photo was taken in the 90's and the red pin is the church with the 515 building to its left. Our 3555 Verot Sch Rd location (top row right) was taken in the late 90's before the area experienced growth. Notice our propety is the one that looks like the #1. We did not see the photos until after the property was purchased. Verot Sch Rd is the line at the bottom of the #1. God truly is all knowing and once again this speaks to our destiny as a church.
The middle row shows photos of the original interior of the gymnasium.
The bottom row was the early survey work which was done to prepare for the future parking.
