The bill, H. 4489, is a House Resolution recognizing and congratulating St. Phillip African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church of Eastover on its historic 192nd anniversary. Founded around 1835, the church has a rich history, beginning with a group of Christians who worshipped under a bush arbor in Acton. The church has undergone several changes over the years, including the construction of a sanctuary and the dedication of a new building after a fire in 1981. Currently led by Reverend Larry D. Clark, the church is celebrated as one of the oldest established African American churches in Lower Richland and continues to serve as a vital community worship center.

The resolution commends St. Phillip AME Church for its long-standing service to God and the community, highlighting its resilience and commitment to faith over nearly two centuries. The church plans to celebrate this milestone with a brunch and a homecoming worship service in June 2025. The resolution concludes with a directive to present a copy of the resolution to the church, further solidifying the recognition of its contributions and heritage.
