Three of the church sanctuaries are standing in a row telling the story of growth in the church. The first permanent church building was completed in 1922 under the leadership of Dr. J. B. Phillips. The brick building shown here is now known as the Phillips Memorial Chapel. Dr Phillips was paster until September of 1930. The building next to Phillips Chapel was originally an airplane hanger and has a wonderful wall size photo in the foryer of a service in the building. The third and current sanctuary of Highland Park Baptist seats 3,700 people. Asbury Chapel, located across the street, is also used by Highland Park Baptist.
