Wolf Creek Church - Restoration Fund
Donation protected
Hello Everyone!
Wolf Creek Primitive Baptist Church, in Eldorado, IL is seeking donations for the Restoration of the church house.
Wolf Creek Primitive Baptist Church was originally organized in 1829, making it one of the oldest churches in Southern Illinois . The the present structure was built right around 1900. Here in recent years the church membership has dropped drastically due to death. With that being said there are very few members left of Wolf Creek Church to give donations towards fixing the church building.
There is a group made up of members, as well as descendents of former members who are over this restoration project. Our hopes are to fix the church up to its former glory, to preserve history in Eldorado and Saline County and to possibly hold service here again!
There have already been some work done on the church from donations from local individuals, like: Brush Clearing, Window pain repairs/window sash repairs, new storm windows added where missing storm windows once were, patching of crawl space door (and windows) to prevent critters inside the church, and also some cleaning inside. We have made progress, but there's still more work to be done.
Repairs that are still needing to be made:
1- New Roof (top priority)
2- Ceiling Repair
3- Rotten outside boards replaced around windows and eaves
4- Bathroom/plumbing remodel
5- Possible Window replacement
6-Possible Furnace updates
*Amount Goal is an estimate only, could take more, could be less. Any Donation is appreciated!*
