AHOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE FAITH WALK MINISTRY OF HOLLYWOOD ON THE OCCASION OF ITS SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY AND TO COMMEND THE CHURCH FOR ITS SERVICE TO GOD AND THE COMMUNITY.

Whereas, Faith Walk Ministry, now celebrating its seventh anniversary,was organized for the worship of Almighty Godand began its ministry led by the Reverend Charles L. Linnen and three deacons. The congregation met at first in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel White, deacon and deaconess, respectively, but the church later joined fellowship with Red Hill Missionary Baptist Church, Pastor Linnen’s home church; and

Whereas, it was then placed on the heart of another church to allow Faith Walk Ministry to use its facilities for Sunday services and Wednesday night Bible study; and

Whereas, in 2009, God enabled Faith Walk Ministry to purchase the former North Side Baptist Church. The congregation began services there a month later and has been growing spiritually, materially,and numerically since that time under the leadership of Pastor Linnen, a second pastor, and four deacons; and

Whereas, standing on the faith and strength provided by the Lord, Faith Walk Ministry’scongregation “presses toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14), preaching and teaching the Word of God; and

Whereas, Faith Walk Ministryhas been a beacon of light and a community worship center in the Hollywood area for seven years, and, God willing, will continue its godly heritage for many more years of worship and service. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and congratulate Faith Walk Ministry of Hollywood on the occasion of its seventh anniversary and commend the church for its service to God and the community.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to the Reverend Charles L. Linnen for Faith Walk Ministry.
