| on May 16, 1926, by the Reverend C. H. Miles Sr. and 11 founding | ||
| members from Houston's historic Independence Heights neighborhood; | ||
| the first church facility was constructed later that year on East | ||
| 40-1/2 Street, and generations of worshippers attended services | ||

| the church was then relocated to its current home on McGallion | ||
| Road, where it remains an integral part of the local community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The church has surmounted numerous challenges | ||
| over the course of its long history, and its congregants have | ||
| benefited from the able leadership of many dedicated clergymen, | ||
| including the Reverend Shannon T. Oliver, who leads the church | ||
| today; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For nearly nine decades, Calvary Missionary Baptist | ||
| Church has served as a source of inspiration and guidance to many | ||
| Houston residents, and it is a pleasure to join in honoring the | ||
| church at this special time in its history; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commemorate the 89th anniversary of Calvary | ||
| Missionary Baptist Church and extend to its clergy and congregation | ||
| sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
