“Can you feel that?” On the corner of Frenchmen and North Robertson, a wave of gospel music spills out from the True Vine Church of God in Christ Number 3. It washes over you, a tidal wave of voices raised in joyful praise. The True Vine Church hasn’t always been on this corner. In fact, this church’s story began over a century ago, a testament to faith and perseverance woven into the fabric of New Orleans. Its roots are humble, planted in the year 1900 with just a handful of devoted souls led by Dr. C.L. Roberts. They prayed in an old frame building, their voices echoing their yearning for a spiritual home. Their prayers were answered, and the True Vine Church was born. Over the years, the church moved from Duck Alley to Carr Street, its congregation growing with each passing decade. Each pastor left an indelible mark, from Rev. John S. Smith’s expansion efforts to Rev. J.H. Hayes’ vision for a new home on Broadway. The True Vine Church became a beacon of hope, a place of solace, and a testament to the power of faith. It stood as a symbol of resilience, weathering storms both literal and metaphorical, its doors always open to those in need. As you listen to the music, remember the dedication, the struggles, and the triumphs that built this spiritual haven. This music, this energy isn’t just sound; it’s the echo of generations of faith reverberating through the True Vine Church of God in Christ Number 3.
