This Concurrent Resolution officially recognizes and celebrates the 175th anniversary of Neely Baptist Church in Greene County, Mississippi, acknowledging its long history and service. The resolution highlights that the church's origins trace back to the founding of Washington Baptist Church in 1845, which later evolved into two separate congregations, with Washington (Convention) Baptist Church changing its name to Neely Baptist Church in 1971 to avoid confusion. It also details the church's historical affiliations with various Baptist associations over the years, emphasizing its enduring presence and importance to the community's faith.
