Macedonia Baptist Church

Macedonia Baptist Church is a Protestant place of worship located along LA 1036 north of Holden, built to serve a growing congregation. The structure displays typical architectural features of the late 1800s and remains an active religious community today.

The congregation was founded in 1856, with the current building constructed in 1898 following the building practices of that era. National Register recognition came in 1980, acknowledging the structure's role in local religious history.

The building reflects the role of Protestant faith in shaping the local community over many generations. It served as a gathering place where neighbors met not only for worship but also for life events and social connection.

This location sits in a rural area along a state highway and is accessible by taking LA 1036 north from Holden. As an active place of worship, visitors should plan their visit respectfully during appropriate times.

The building was constructed in 1898 and displays craftsmanship that reflects how rural churches were typically built in Louisiana at that time. These practical design choices offer insight into the religious building methods that shaped communities across the rural South.
