## Resource

Pawleys Island Community Church and its school are in turmoil after a $25 million lawsuit accuses them of knowingly allowing a convicted sex offender to volunteer around children for years. Senior Pastor Don Williams and his wife Ginny, who ran guest services, have resigned after 27 years, along with school director Niki Howard and several elders. The church canceled live services, opting for a recorded message, as it faces a “season of crisis.” The arrest of Warren Perry, who allegedly misled probation officials and ignored restrictions, triggered the fallout — including complaints from parents and teachers, one of whom was reportedly fired for speaking up. Perry had even named Ginny Williams his Power of Attorney, with Don as successor, adding legal complexity. The Georgetown County Sheriff confirms the resignations don’t affect the ongoing investigation, set to update the public Monday.
