If you're looking for the small town feel, with a little distance between you and the bigger cities, and quick access to both, Church Point may be the place for you!
Tucked in the corner of Acadia Parish is the town of Church Point. With nearly 4500 residents, Church Point is in a good place for growth.
Church Point Wholesale is now delivering to six states, and Richards Meat Processing is expanding. In addition, the town is building the new Acadia St. Landry hospital. Church Point will most likely become home for hundreds of new families.
It's not just the economics attracting people to Church Point, it's the small town atmosphere. The town is relatively close to U.S. 190, I-49 and I-10. This allows people to enjoy that small town life, without giving up the opportunity to work and visit the larger towns and cities.
The Jesuits arrived and established a church. Le Vieux Presbytere housed the town's priests for over 100 years, and it still stands today. It's a museum now, hopefully opening again once restrictions ease.
