The resolution celebrates the 140th anniversary of Providence Baptist Church, which was established in 1884 in Beauregard, Alabama. Over the years, the church has evolved from a small wooden structure to its current facilities, which include a sanctuary built in 1965 and a children's education building from 1973. The church has grown to a congregation of over 1,700 members who actively contribute to various missions and benevolent ministries, reflecting a strong commitment to their Christian values. The church's history includes the establishment of a Sunday School in 1930 and the leadership of 21 pastors, with Dr. Rusty J. Sowell serving as the pastor for the past 40 years.

The resolution acknowledges the significant impact Providence Baptist Church has had on its community through worship, fellowship, and outreach over the past 140 years. It expresses admiration for the church's dedication to sharing the Word of God and transforming lives, while also looking forward to a bright future. The Alabama Legislature honors the church and its congregation with this resolution, extending best wishes for continued blessings and success in their mission.
