Beekman United Methodist Church (Beekman, La.)
Biography
Beekman United Methodist Church was located at 15097 Lum Day Road, Beekman, Louisiana.
Humphrey’s Chapel was organized by H. G. Roberts and T. S. Randle on August 16, 1908. When the highway was later relocated, the church was also moved. Land for the new location (including the two cemeteries) was given to the church by the Crossett Lumber Company. Though Crossett was bought out by Georgia-Pacific, the gift is valid as long as a church operates on the property.
The congregation reorganized under the name Beekman Methodist Church on November 1, 1937. A parsonage was built on Cox Street for Beekman and Memorial. When charges were separated, Memorial bought out the Beckman’s share of the parsonage.
Beekman United Methodist Church disaffiliated from the United Methodist Church in May 2023.
