The bill H. 4242 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that requests the Department of Transportation to name a section of South Carolina Highway 417 in Spartanburg County as "Old Antioch Church Way." This designation would cover the stretch of highway from the Enoree River to South Carolina Highway 101, and the resolution calls for the erection of appropriate signs or markers to reflect this new name.
The resolution highlights the historical significance of Antioch Presbyterian Church, which was established in 1845 and has a rich legacy of community and faith spanning 180 years. The church's history includes its founding by Scotch-Irish settlers, its evolution through various challenges, and its recent anniversary celebrations. The resolution aims to honor this legacy by preserving the church's memory through the naming of the highway segment.
