True Vine Baptist Church, founded on September 27, 1865, emerged from the unique historical context of the Zeringue Plantation's slave quarters under the leadership of Reverend Thomas Peterson. Notably, it established its enduring presence at 249 Sala Avenue in 1897 and remains the second oldest black church on the West Bank, continuing to serve its congregation through the years.

Throughout its history, the church has demonstrated resilience, rebuilding after devastating fires in 1926 and 1961. Today, it stands as a cornerstone of community and faith, with roots that trace back over a century in the Westwego area.
