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. |
