IN RECOGNITION OF THE HERITAGE BAPTIST CHURCH 40TH ANNIVERSARY
______
HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN
of virginia
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, May 19, 2021
Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate Heritage Baptist Church in Woodbridge, Virginia as it celebrates its 40 years of Christian: service.
In 1981 the Heritage Baptist church was founded in a modest rental facility at Potomac Highschool. While small in numbers, this did not deter the church from making an impact on the community and spreading the word of God. To date, the Heritage Baptist Church has facilitated over 190 worldwide missions, boasts a congregation of over 500 members, and has planted 6 churches across the nation.
In the last 40 years, the congregation has continued to flourish and grow. What began as a small group in a one-room church has evolved into a 17 acres campus that has touched the lives of and inspired hundreds of individuals.
Today the Heritage Church can reach members of the community through the various programs offered, such as a K4 to a twelfth-grade Christian school, Sunday school bus outreach, the Heritage Institute of Ministry, and sermons in Spanish.
Therefore, Madam Speaker, I ask that you rise with me in support of the Heritage Baptist Church 40th anniversary. May God bless the Heritage Baptist Church and its community and may He continue to work through it to continue to spread the Word of God.
