Senate Resolution No. 678 commemorates the 100th anniversary of Buchanan First Baptist Church in Texarkana, which was founded on March 30, 1925. The church began with 14 charter members who gathered in a private home and has since evolved through various locations and renovations, including the current building on Buchanan Loop Road, which opened in August 1995. Over the years, the church has expanded its facilities to accommodate a growing congregation and has been led by dedicated clergy, including Pastor Rick Rothwell, who has served for the past four years.

The resolution acknowledges the church's significant role in the Texarkana community, highlighting its commitment to fostering fellowship and providing support through various ministries for different demographics, including men, women, youth, and the elderly. The Texas Senate expresses its best wishes for the future of Buchanan First Baptist Church and honors its contributions to the spiritual guidance of local residents. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas Senate.
