The resolution celebrates the 140th anniversary of Providence Baptist Church, which was established in 1884 in Beauregard, Alabama. Over its long history, 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 Sunday School program, initiated in 1930, emphasizes the importance of scripture education for children, and the church has been led by 21 pastors since its inception.

The resolution acknowledges the dedicated service of current leaders, including Dr. Rusty J. Sowell, who has been the pastor for 40 years, and other long-serving ministers. It highlights the church's mission of sharing the Word of God and fostering community through fellowship and worship. The Alabama Legislature expresses its admiration and appreciation for Providence Baptist Church's contributions over the past 140 years and extends best wishes for its future endeavors.
