Church Point (French: Pointe-à-l'Église[4]) is a town in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, United States.

The French term Plaquemine Brûlé is translated into English as "Burnt Persimmon" - a result of the burning of the brush and other woody growth, which apparently contained persimmon trees, during the widening of a slough off Bayou Mermentau to accommodate barge travel for local farmers.
