Carpenter's Chapel was organized in the spring of 1911 by Spencer McLean. The original church was held in a small house owned by "Grandpa" Carpenter. The original church building was built by Joe Dugas on land that was donated by "Grandpa" Carpenter. It was built in the fall of 1911, where several men assisted Joe Dugas in its construction (including Bud Carpenter, Steve Carpenter, and many others).
The first official board were Bud Carpenter and Steve Carpenter, their father, and one or two others whose names are unknown. Carpenter's Chapel was originally named "McLean's Chapel" by the congregation, but later, Rev. W. W. Bowman changed the name on the records to Carpenter's Chapel. The Carpenter Family have been active in the church since it was founded.
Their names may have changed to Buratt, Courtney, Dixon, Edmonston, and many others, but their roots are still here at Carpenter's Chapel in Galvez, Louisiana. In 1983, two acres of land were purchased across Highway 933 where the new parsonage was built.
