A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE BISHOP DAVID THEODORE GINYARD ON THE OCCASION OF HIS ORDINATION AS BISHOP OF SPIRITUAL WAY CHURCH OF CHRIST AND TO WISH HIM MUCH CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS.
Whereas, born on December 30, 1954 in Winnsboro, South Carolina, to parents David and Thelma Ginyard, Bishop Ginyard was one of nine with five brothers and three sisters; and
Whereas, Bishop Ginyard attended Fairfield County schools, graduating from Winnsboro High in 1974. He went on to attend Midlands Technical College, where he earned his associates degree; and
Whereas, affectionately known as "Pastor D," he married the love of his life Brenda Williams-Ginyard, and together, they found a home at New Hope Baptist Church; and
Whereas, later, the couple moved to Columbia, where they remained for a few years before moving back to Fairfield and joining the Spiritual Way Church of Christ (SWCOC). They currently live in Winnsboro, where they have been for the past forty-five years, raising their five children; and
Whereas, on October 9, 1977, he accepted Christ as his Savior and was baptized. Since that time he has served in many roles within SWCOC. He was ordained in May 2009, and ten years later he is furthering his spiritual contribution by becoming a Bishop; and
Whereas, within the church, he has served many roles, some of which include Sabbath School teacher, treasurer, working in the missionary department, serving on the Board of Trustees, and driving the church van. He also aids others by painting and cutting grass not only at the church but for elderly individuals; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the legacy of love and godliness Bishop Ginyard has exhibited and look forward to hearing of continued ways in which he touches people's lives. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Bishop David Theodore Ginyard on the occasion of his ordination as Bishop of Spiritual Way Church of Christ and wish him much continued success and happiness.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Bishop David Theodore Ginyard.
