Whereas, the church was organized in Columbia on February 1, 1887; and

Whereas, the elders and pastors of Centennial ARP Church have always been in the forefront of the leadership of their denomination; and

Whereas, the members, as well as the leaders of the church, have often been stalwarts in the effort to maintain the doctrinal purity of the Presbyterian denominations and the Christian faith; and

Whereas, the Centennial ARP Church has been the mother church to three separate congregations in the Columbia area; and

Whereas, the Centennial ARP Church's congregation is proud of the four young men who have gone into the ministry and blessed by the three young ladies who have been called into full-time missionary work; and
