Whereas, the church's spiritual leader of twenty-eight years, The Reverend Charles B. Jackson, Sr., B.S., M.Div., D.D. was called as pastor at the age of eighteen and is one of the nation's renowned African-American ministers; and
Whereas, Brookland Baptist Church contributes significantly to the betterment of all South Carolinians by its efforts to spread the gospel through the provision of a wide range of human services to many of the State's neediest citizens, and through numerous other initiatives that benefit the lives of people across every social and economic spectrum; and
Whereas, Pastor Jackson and his congregation will dedicate their new edifice on July 25, 1999, while celebrating the theme "Glorifying God, Edifying Humanity and Serving the Community", which is embedded deeply within the foundation upon which the church is built; and
Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is mindful of the critical role Brookland Baptist Church plays in meeting the spiritual needs of this State; and
Whereas, the twentieth century in South Carolina has been enhanced greatly by the presence and commitment of Brookland Baptist Church, and by this resolution, the South Carolina General Assembly would like to publicly acknowledge the efforts of Pastor Charles B.
