Beach Blvd., Biloxi, MS Hours: 1.00 pm - 4:00 pm • Monday, March 29th Hostesses: Members of the Church
The first Protestant Church in Biloxi was built in its original location on Howard Avenue in 1849 and moved to the present location in 1891. This church was deconsecrated and used as a parish center when a new church, except for the bell tower, was destroyed by Hurricane Camille. The outline of the second church is noted by the ring of liriope in the front yard of the third church. A drive is on to construct a Memorial to the victims of Camille on this site. A drawing of the Camille Memorial plan is on display in the church. Also, do not miss the special Pilgrimage Memorial dedicated in 1997 on the occasion of the church’s 50th Anniversary.
