This bill is a House Resolution that congratulates the congregation of Bethlehem Baptist Church, College Place, on the occasion of its 130th anniversary of ministry and service to the community. The resolution highlights the church's rich history, beginning with its founding in 1896 by descendants of enslaved people, and details significant milestones in its development, including the purchase of land for its first structure, the rebuilding of the church after a fire in 1942, and the establishment of various ministries under the leadership of several pastors over the years.

The resolution acknowledges the contributions of key figures in the church's history, including early leaders and pastors who have played vital roles in its spiritual growth and community service. It emphasizes the church's resilience and commitment to faith, hope, and service throughout its 130 years, culminating in a call for the House of Representatives to officially recognize and celebrate this significant milestone. A copy of the resolution is to be presented to the current pastor, Reverend Dr. Anthony A. McCallum.
