"Auburn Presbyterian Church traces its origins to meetings held in the home of Ezekiel Downing in 1823 as part of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church plan to “evangelize the middle portions of the Louisiana Purchase.” The building of the current Auburn church was built in 1872 next to the Auburn Academy Schoolhouse. Today, the congregation is part of North Lincoln Parish in partnership with the Whiteside Presbyterian Church. In addition, the church hosts the “All You Need Is Love Food Pantry” at the site of the original Auburn Academy Schoolhouse on the third Saturday of each month.
"The church is located at 59 Old Auburn Church Road in rural Lincoln County. It is located approximately one-half mile from the intersection of US 61 and Lincoln County Highway B. The pastor of Auburn Presbyterian Church is the Reverend Murray E. Phillips, who has served North Lincoln Parish since 2005." ~ Lincoln County Journal, December, 9, 2013
