HR 445: Fellowship Bible Baptist Church; occasion of its 45th anniversary; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Fellowship Bible Baptist Church in Warner Robins, Georgia, on the 45th anniversary of its founding. It recounts the church's history, starting with its first worship service in 1980 led by Reverend Willie L. Reid Sr., through its growth in land, buildings, and membership over the decades, including the construction of its current sanctuary in 2011 and its leadership transition to Pastor Tolan Morgan in 2015. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally states that the House of Representatives recognizes the church's history, commends its decades of service to the community, and wishes it continued growth and success. It also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the church.
