Assessment

Winner OPC serves the small town of Winner in south-central South Dakota, with morning and evening Sunday worship. Pastor Brad J. Irick leads this confessionally Reformed congregation, which traces its roots to 1961 when Abe Ediger was called as the first pastor. The church functions as a Reformed witness in a rural, sparsely populated county.
