| Left-New Education Center |
[Baton
Rouge, La.] The Disciple Baptist Church of Ville Platte, La was experiencing a
growth in membership and needed additional space to accommodate them. They estimated the cost to build an
educational center at $150,000. Church
leaders sought assistance from the Center for Rural and Small Business
Development. Staff members assisted them
in identifying a lender and guided them through the financing process. The center was financed and there is now a
beautiful addition that consists of six classrooms.
The Center for Rural and Small
Business Development under the auspices of the Southern University Ag Center
had previously assisted the church in setting up a computer laboratory which is
utilized by members of the church, as well as, others in the community. It was equipped with ten computers and a
printer. Software was installed that
assisted in studying the LEAP and Exit tests, increased computer skills and
introduced the use of social media. The Center also provided additional computer
technology training via the mobile computer laboratory.
The church continues to meet the
needs of its members and the community at large. Their vision remains clear and they are on
target to meet all goals and aspirations.
