A Word from the Pastor 

BACKGROUND

    A lifelong resident of St. Gabriel, Louisiana, Doctor Terry M. Hasten went to Sunshine High School.  He continued his education by attending and obtaining a BS degree at Southern University, Baton Rouge.  In 1999, Pastor Hasten decided to further his education' it was then that he began an 8 year study at Christian Bible College of Baton Rouge.  In 2007, he obtained his doctoral degree becoming Reverend Doctor Terry M. Hasten. 

     Pastor is the husband of one wife, Linda.  They recently celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary.  Together they parented two girls, TaMeshia and Terrie.  They are also the proud grandparents of Tim-micheal, Sky'lur, Genesis and Ty'lynn.

    Before becoming a full minister, Pastor Hasten was employed by Pioneer Co Alkali, St. Gabriel, LA.  While being employed by Pioneer he obtained perfect attendance for 17 consecutive years (faithfulness).   

Church History    

    Iberville Christian Center started out as a Bible Study.  It was located on the corner of Besson Lane and Jake Lane at what was known as the "little red church."  In six years time the Bible Study grew from about ten people to about forty people.  After major repairs were made, the church was forced to leave the premise.  With a broken heart and many tears, Pastor Hasten began seeking God for a permanent place the house the church.  It was then that while stopped on the corner of Besson Lane and the River Road that the Lord spoke to his heart and said, "This is a good place to START a ministry."  With the help and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we were able to purchase the former River View Supermarket. Upon renovation, the old store front housed I.C.C. for 6 years.  Due to the tremendous growth, the I.C.C. family required a larger sanctuary. The new sanctuary opened its door in 1994, it was then that I.C.C. youth ministry came into existence.

    Pastor Hasten is a man after God's own heart. The doors to the church are always open.  He and the Iberville Christian Center family invite you to attend a service. 

      As pastor and founder of Iberville Christian Center, I would personally like to thank you for visiting us on the web.  Likewise, I hope to see your face in the place soon!
