SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 131

WHEREAS, The members of Church on the Rock in Daingerfield celebrated the 25th anniversary of their church's founding on September 25, 2016; and

WHEREAS, In 1991, the church was organized by about a dozen members; they soon appointed co-pastors, Dr. Ed Brockway, who later became associate pastor, and Randy Seybert, who has led the house of worship as senior pastor since the early 1990s; Pastor Seybert is supported in all his endeavors by his wife, Elizabeth Seybert, whose many responsibilities include administration, teaching, counseling, and oversight of the ladies' ministry; and

WHEREAS, Members met in a private home before renting a vacant church building; originally known as Christian Temple Church, it became an affiliate of Church on the Rock--International in 1996; the following year, the congregation purchased a building to renovate, and the first service was held in the new home on Easter Sunday in 2000; and

WHEREAS, Countless Daingerfield residents have looked to the Church on the Rock for spiritual guidance over the past quarter century, 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 85th Legislature, hereby commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Church on the Rock and extend to the congregation sincere best wishes for many more years of shared prayer and fellowship; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the church as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
