Suber's Church in Shreveport

James Griffin · #1 12-31-2007, 02:57 PM

Bishop Shelton Young (title his church calls him) founded the church.

I have met him and he proved to be a most gracious host. He was formally with the ALJC, and I believe the church was founded in the 60s.

(P Jones post is correct as to recent history and therefore does not need repeating.) :-)

The campus is debt-free and multi-million dollar in value. It has a sanctuary which will seat around 500, a huge fellowship hall with several Sunday school rooms. It also has a separate family life center, full basketball court, the works.

The kitchen has just been remodeled to state of the art commercial standards.

The church is located adjacent to what is about to be an extension of the Interstate, and owns several undeveloped acres. So property value is sure to escalate.

Although they previously pastored in the same city Pastors Suber and Young never met until a few months ago.

The church currently has ZERO web presence, but I have NO doubt that will be corrected shortly.

Hopefully that addresses many of the questions/issues recently raised.

PERSONAL opinion, at the moment a conservative Bill Gaither style comes to mind. But yes Thad, you are correct, church's over time tend to take on the personality of their pastor.

And well, JS was raised in Africa. :-)

Hey, Thad, they heard him preach and THEN voted him in 100%... I would say they are ready for whatever the ministry of this man of God brings!

Thad,

They might tune him up but it would be in C or maybe in G for Jesus... none of the heavy flats or sharps.. you know... the black notes. :d (no racist intent in that... I learned this from Whitney Phipps)

True, met some VERY precious people there, and they do love him already.

James,

I'm very familiar with Faith Tabernacle and your information is dead on. Several years back, I preached there. I've got some relatives that have been long-time members there.

Are you from the Shreveport area?
