The resolution honors Executive Pastor Kris Sullivan on his retirement from First Baptist Church of Tuscaloosa after 18 years of dedicated service. During his tenure, he has played a pivotal role in guiding his congregation towards spiritual growth and salvation, while also inspiring members to engage in international missions and support local charitable initiatives. His leadership was particularly notable during crises, such as the aftermath of the 2011 Tuscaloosa-Birmingham Tornado, where he coordinated relief efforts, and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, where he implemented creative solutions for ministry.

Additionally, Kris Sullivan is recognized for his fiscal responsibility, having established the 721 Project to manage church finances effectively, which led to the church becoming debt-free in March 2020. The resolution expresses deep appreciation for his compassionate leadership and the positive impact he has had on the church community. It concludes with well wishes for his retirement, hoping it is filled with good health, prosperity, and success in his future endeavors.
