The bill, H. 4489, is a House Resolution recognizing and congratulating St. Phillip African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church of Eastover on its 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 endured various challenges over the years, including the burning of its original sanctuary in 1981, and has since dedicated a new sanctuary that continues to serve the community. Currently led by Reverend Larry D. Clark, the church is set to celebrate this significant milestone with a brunch and homecoming worship service in June 2025.

The resolution commends St. Phillip AME Church for its long-standing service to God and the community, highlighting its role as one of the oldest established African American churches in Lower Richland. The members of the South Carolina House of Representatives express their recognition of the church's contributions and its enduring legacy of faith and community service. A copy of the resolution will be presented to the church as a formal acknowledgment of its historic anniversary.
