This House resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of the United Baptist Church located in Akron, Ohio. The church was formed in 1926 by merging two smaller congregations and has since played a significant role in the spiritual and social life of the Akron community. Over the years, the church has been led by various pastors who contributed to its growth and outreach efforts. The resolution highlights the church’s involvement in civil justice, economic development, and community building through programs such as food assistance, education, health initiatives, and workforce readiness. Notably, the church operates the Gus Johnson Community Center, which includes early childhood education, adult day services, and a Christian primary school. The resolution encourages the church to continue its positive impact for the next century. While the resolution is largely symbolic and does not create new laws or funding, it publicly acknowledges the church’s historical and ongoing contributions to the local community.
