Live Oak UMC in Watson, Louisiana began in the mid 1800′s as a part of the Methodist circuit. During the Civil War it was destroyed by the Union army, rebuilt in 1884 and received its charter in 1888. I am the 66th pastor since the church received its charter in 1888, and am now in my 17th year. Since 1996 LOUMC has experienced tremendous growth.
To give you some insight into the level of growth Live Oak Methodist has experienced I need to give you some history of the church.
In May of 1996 the average worship attendance was approximately 120 in worship with about 550 members. From June of 1996 to the present Live Oak has had a continual increase in membership and attendance. Today we have 1,900 members with an average worship attendance of 1,050.
