Volunteers Built Island Park Baptist Church in 10 Month Drive
A La Crosse group led by Rev. James W. Phillips completed Island Park Baptist Church on Lake Shore Drive in four years of mission work, with about a dozen volunteers, free labor valued at roughly $20,000 toward a $42,000 two level building. The project began last July and included donated land, a parsonage, and community effort from members and non members. The May 15 dedication will mark the culmination of the labor of love by local residents and SBC members.
