Greenville are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their church's | ||
founding on March 21, 2015; and | ||
WHEREAS, Services were initially held at Travis Elementary | ||
School when the church was organized in March of 1965, and then two | ||
years later, they were moved to the current church home at the | ||
corner of Wesley and Burnett; an activities building and an | ||
education building have been added, and in 1987 a new worship center | ||

from the dedicated efforts of seven outstanding clergymen, | ||
Dr. William Pratt, Dr. James McGinlay, Dr. Bob Hamilton, Dr. David | ||
Stubblefield, Dr. Sam Douglass, Kevin Herbert, and Pastor Matthew | ||
Beasley, who leads the congregation today; and | ||
WHEREAS, United by their shared faith and strong traditions, | ||
the members of this notable house of worship have established a | ||
variety of commendable programs that foster fellowship and offer | ||
help to those in need; one such special ministry is the live | ||
nativity presented to the community for the past 48 Christmas | ||
seasons; and | ||
WHEREAS, Countless Greenville residents have looked to | ||
Ridgecrest Baptist 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 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding | ||
of Ridgecrest Baptist Church and extend to its members and clergy | ||
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. | ||
