On LA Highway Alt 2, just northwest of Bernice, Louisiana, near the Claiborne Parish line, stands the Alabama Methodist Church, one remarkable piece of history.
This church has the appearance of a storied legend. It isn’t just a piece of architecture, it’s an experience.
It’s grand.
It’s sweeping.
It’s breathing.

The Alabama Methodist Church is an entity unto itself.
Similar thoughts assailed my senses as I captured the tall, sky-reaching belfry, that must be at least 25 feet (or more) in height.
I felt humbled standing next to this church. Its grandiose structure was marvelous as I backed several dozens of feet away to capture all of its character, splendor, and glory in my viewfinder.
I hope these photographs allow you to experience the same feeling I felt visiting the Alabama Methodist Church.
