Dormant church given new life
First Baptist Church of Campaign.jpg
There is ample room for physical distancing at the new First Baptist Church of Campaign-Rock Island, but leaders who are reviving the congregation hope soon to fill the sanctuary with active, regular worshippers. Brother Jim Ramsey, pictured here, invites the community to an open house event this coming Saturday, Dec. 11, from 2 to 4 p.m., at the site on Friendship Road, just off Highway 70S.
In the age of the COVID-19 pandemic, First Baptist Church of Campaign-Rock Island offers plenty of room for social distancing. But pioneers in the revival of that long-dormant church hope and pray for a sanctuary soon filled by the faithful.
