On September 14, 2024, the First Methodist Church of Coushatta is inviting everyone to walk through the history of Methodism. In 1824, the Sabine District, which encompassed Sabine, Natchitoches, Desoto, and Bienville, began in what is now Red River Parish. Circuit riders moved through the area, creating small groups of Methodist and area churches.

This celebration will honor the history of the Wesleyan movement in this area and bring people from all walks of life together. You may be from a Global Methodist Church, Southern Methodist, or a United Methodist church in the area. Maybe you are from an African Methodist Episcopal Church or a Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. You may be a history buff or someone from another denomination who would like to join in the day. If any of these apply to you, you are welcome to attend.

If your church would like to display your historical artifacts, share your oral and written history, and fellowship with other churches, email office@fmccoushatta.org and
