PASS CREEK FACILITIES – ALLEN, SD – Project #43.44350 
Working with the growing congregation of Pass Creek Church of God in Allen, SD, Tim and Kim Wardell are excited about a new opportunity to prepare the church for the future.

One, it will provide much needed housing for current and future missionaries and, eventually, for a full-time pastor for the Pass Creek Church of God. Two, it will provide underground storm shelter for the staff, church attendees, and visiting missions teams during frequent tornado watches and warnings.

The multi-use, parsonage facility will allow for current and future ministry opportunities that are not possible with their current facilities. (The total project goal over three years is $187,058. The annual goal is $62,350.)
