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. | ||
