HR445: HR445 Fellowship Bible Baptist Church; occasion of its 45th anniversary; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it recognizes Fellowship Bible Baptist Church in Warner Robins, Georgia, on the 45th anniversary of its founding in 1980, tracing the church's growth from a small congregation to about 3,500 active members today. The resolution recounts the church's history, including its founding pastor Reverend Willie L. Reid Sr., its move to a new sanctuary in 2011, its current pastor Tolan Morgan, and its community outreach during the COVID-19 pandemic. The House formally commends the church's service and directs the Clerk of the House to provide a copy of the resolution to the church.
