The resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of Buchanan First Baptist Church in Texarkana, which was founded on March 30, 1925. Initially organized by 14 charter members in a private home, the church has evolved significantly over the years, moving from a one-room sanctuary to its current location on Buchanan Loop Road, where it has been since August 1995. The church has also expanded its facilities to accommodate a growing congregation, including the addition of a family life and education center. Pastor Rick Rothwell has been leading the church for the past four years, contributing to its rich history and community impact.

Buchanan First Baptist Church has played a vital role in the Texarkana area, providing spiritual guidance and support through various ministries aimed at different demographics, including men, women, youth, and the elderly. The resolution expresses the Texas Senate's recognition of the church's significant contributions to the community and extends best wishes for its future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for the church as a token of esteem from the Texas Senate.
