A note from . . . Jason Allison
I was very disappointed that we
were unable to make it to your
70th anniversary celebration.
Tates Creek was my first full-
time ministry position and I
have very fond memories of it!
That time was formational in my
spiritual life in ways that I am
still experiencing. I am reminded
daily of the impact that TCCC
had on my spiritual journey when
I see my certificate of ordination
signed by the Elders. I will be
forever indebted to Tates Creek!
May the next 70 years be even
more fruitful than the last 70!
