||
WHEREAS, The members of Fallbrook Church in Houston are | ||
celebrating the 25th anniversary of their church's founding in | ||
2019; and | ||
WHEREAS, Organized by Pastor Michael Pender Sr., who | ||
continues to lead the congregation today, Fallbrook Church held its | ||
first service at Gray Elementary School in September 1994; members | ||
worshiped in private homes, an office space, and a co-leased church | ||
before Fallbrook established its current campus on Walters Road and | ||
opened its auxiliary building in 2001; over the succeeding years, | ||
the church expanded its facilities to include a community center, a | ||
worship center, and a children's and youth building; and | ||
WHEREAS, In the quarter century since its founding, Fallbrook | ||
has grown into a thriving congregation with more than 10,000 | ||
members who have launched a variety of commendable programs that | ||
foster fellowship and offer help to those in need; committed to | ||
supporting children and families, the church also operates a day | ||
care, before-school and after-school programs, and a charter school | ||
for students in kindergarten through 12th grade; and | ||
WHEREAS, Countless Houston residents have looked to | ||
Fallbrook Church for spiritual guidance over the years, and it is a | ||
pleasure to join in honoring the church at this special time in its | ||
rich history; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 25th anniversary of Fallbrook | ||
Church in Houston and extend to its members sincere best wishes for | ||
the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the church as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
