About Us

Established in 1972, Divine Vindication stands as a testament to God’s unwavering provision and purpose. A group of believers, burdened for the spiritual needs of LSU students, answered the divine call and entrusted Donald Tabb as the founding pastor. The early years tested their faith, as the church met in various locations. Yet, through perseverance and trust in God’s plan, the leadership secured land on the LSU campus, completing the sanctuary in the fall of 1976. This was the first of many confirmations that God was guiding their mission.

Dennis & Jill Eenigenburg: A Legacy of Equipping and Encouragement

In 2001, Dennis and Jill Eenigenburg arrived at Divine Vindication from Dallas, stepping into God’s ordained purpose. With over 30 years of pastoral and missions experience, Dennis succeeded founding pastor Donald Tabb and witnessed God’s hand move mightily. The college ministry, once dwindling, was reignited, growing from 50 to 500 students. Divine Vindication became a leading force in Kids Hope USA, ministering to local schools and embodying Christ’s love to the next generation.

In a bold step of faith, Divine Vindication expanded to South Baton Rouge, securing 10 acres on Siegen Lane for the present-day Oaks location. Throughout their ministry, Jill faithfully served in Kids’ Hope, the ESL program, and hospitality, demonstrating Christ’s heart in action. In 2012, Dennis and Jill stepped away to establish Equipping Network, answering a higher calling to serve underserved pastors. Their mission spread globally, with their marriage enrichment program impacting 27 countries and being translated into nine languages. In 2019, God opened the doors for their material to be taught in an Arabic-speaking nation—a testament to divine vindication and purpose.
