AI Summary
This resolution celebrates the 85th anniversary of Oak Grove Baptist Church in Elgin, South Carolina, tracing its history from its founding in 1940 by two deacons, Mason Hudson and P. B. Boyd, who initially held worship services in members' homes and later in locations like the Old School House and a peach orchard shed. The resolution highlights the church's growth, noting key milestones such as purchasing land in 1954, building a wooden church surrounded by oak trees, and experiencing leadership from several pastors including Reverend A. D. Robinson, Reverend J. R. Butler, Reverend Willie J. Goodwin Jr., Reverend Dr. Albert Downing, and current pastor Reverend Dr. Willie J. Thompson Jr. The document emphasizes the church's expansion to over 600 members, development of various ministries like the Young Worshippers Experience and Stepping for Jesus step team, community outreach efforts including a Back-Pack Outreach program, and plans to construct a S.T.R.E.A.M. Center to provide career training in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. The resolution formally commends Oak Grove Baptist Church for its eight and a half decades of ministry and service, and directs that a copy be presented to Reverend Dr. Thompson.
