Building Project

From 1994-2005 the ministry of High Praise Fellowship was located in the Greter New Orleans area of St. Bernard Parish. After Hurricane Katrina, our services moved north of Lake Pontchartrain to Slidell, Louisiana.

In March 2006, we acquired 17.5 beautiful acres of land in which a small house stands. The house was remodeled in order to seat 90 people for church services.

In July 2006 we were blessed with a tent that has a 144 person capacity which allowed us to expand.

Recently we finished a metal building which took the place of the past tent structure.

Currently we are constructing Phase One of the building project, a school sized gym with seating for around 500 guests, it will also have class rooms, a welcoming center, cafe', and book store.

Listed below you may read about the full vision for High Praise Fellowship.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. (KJV)

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. (KJV)
