Christ's Sanctified Holy Church (Louisiana)... Jennings, LA [H.Q.]... In 1903 members of Christ's Sanctified Holy Church (South Carolina) came to West Lake, Louisiana, and proselytized a group of black people, who in 1904 organized the Colored Church South... The church soon changed its name to Christ's Sanctified Holy Church Colored. Over the years the church members dropped the word 'Colored' from their title and returned to using the same name as their parent body... The parent body is white and has headquarters in South Carolina, whereas the church under discussion here is headquartered in Louisiana. Organization and doctrine are as in the parent body, except that ministers in [the Louisiana body] are salaried. Membership: Not reported. At last report (1957) there were 600 members in 30 churches."
