Allegiance Lacking As Churches Grow In Onalaska
In Onalaska Wisconsin church growth reflects broader social shifts with eight churches today up from five before 1960. Rev James Munn notes rising but uneven commitment as population climbs from 3161 in 1960 to an estimated 8000 by 1976. Mormon expansion leads to Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints building at 7th and Wells Streets with 320 members planning a larger facility.
