Photograph of Four Square Gospel Church, 300 Block E. Leafland Ave., Decatur, IL. "Parishioners Build Their Own Church. The 250 members of the Four Square Gospel church in Decatur, Ill. have constructed their new edifice, using only volunteer labor from their congregation. Last April they tore down an old frame church and started work on the new church, which will be dedicated Sunday, Nov. 28. the Rev. K. W. Erickson, pastor of the church, said the new church, including furnishings, cost $60,000. One Decatur contractor estimated the value of the building alone, on a normal construction cost basis, at more than $200,000. Dr. H. D. Mitzner, Great Lakes District Superintendent, who spoke at cornerstone laying ceremonies earlier this year, will speak at the dedication services."
