A house RESOLUTION

 

to recognize and honor Pastor Allen Dawkins of Spartanburg County for over thirty-five years of faithful Ministry and service to Believers' Fellowship Assemblies of God.

 

Whereas, it is altogether fitting and proper that the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives should pause in their deliberations to express their gratitude to Pastor Allen Dawkins for his significant contributions to Believers' Fellowship Assemblies of God and the Spartanburg community; and

 

Whereas, Pastor Allen Dawkins is the co-founder and senior pastor of Believers' Fellowship Assemblies of God located in Spartanburg. God called Allen Dawkins into pastoral ministry in 1985, and in September of 1990, the Lord spoke to the hearts of Allen Dawkins and his beloved wife Karen Dawkins to step into the senior pastor position of a church that was on the verge of seeing a great move of God; and

 

Whereas, Pastor Dawkins is a graduate of the Christian Life School of Theology, where he earned a Bachelor of Theology degree, and he recently received the South Carolina Assemblies of God District Council Ordination Certificate; and

 

Whereas, Pastor Allen Dawkins is the father of three wonderful sons, Tharius, Terence, and Kendal, and the proud grandfather to two sweet grandchildren; and

 

Whereas, Pastor Dawkins has been in full-time ministry at Believers' Fellowship Assemblies of God for more than thirty-one years. Under his great leadership, the membership of Believers' Fellowship has grown substantially. Believers' Fellowship serves as an outstanding model and leading example for all ministries that have a deep compassion and concern for the lost.  They are committed to graciously investing their time and effort into the lives of others; and

 

Whereas, Pastor Dawkins has a unique teaching ability and a heartfelt preaching style that continuously inspires his congregation to reach for higher heights in the Lord. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Pastor Allen Dawkins of Spartanburg County for over thirty-five years of faithful ministry and service to Believers' Fellowship Assemblies of God.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Pastor Allen Dawkins.
