A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO HONOR THE CHRISTIAN COVENANT FELLOWSHIP OF MINISTRIES ON THE OCCASION OF ITS TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY, TO CONGRATULATE THE MEMBERS OF THIS FINE ORGANIZATION FOR A QUARTER CENTURY OF SERVING THE LORD AND HIS PEOPLE, AND TO WISH THE GROUP AND ITS LEADER, BISHOP MICHAEL BLUE, MANY MORE YEARS OF BLESSING AS THEY CONTINUE TO SERVE.
H4837 is a House resolution honoring the Christian Covenant Fellowship of Ministries (CCFM) on its 25th anniversary. The resolution recognizes the organization’s origins in a 2000 meeting of ministers from South Carolina, North Carolina, and Ohio, its first conference in Marion in 2001, and the leadership of Bishop Michael Blue. It also highlights the group’s growth into a multi-state fellowship with nearly 80 affiliated churches and its 2025 King’s Summit at the Florence Center.
The resolution describes CCFM’s mission as strengthening community, engaging culture, and exalting Christ, and it emphasizes the organization’s broader ministry work beyond worship services. Those activities include seminars and programming on health, opioid awareness, finances, entrepreneurship, marriage, youth suicide prevention, legal matters for churches, leadership, home ownership, community engagement, and youth development, along with scholarships for high school graduates. The measure is purely commemorative and does not create, amend, or repeal any state law or statute.
H4837 has no direct legal or regulatory effect on South Carolina law. As a ceremonial House resolution, it does not alter statutes, impose obligations, appropriate funds, or change the rights or duties of any person or entity; its only formal action is to express the House’s recognition and congratulations to CCFM and to direct that a copy of the resolution be presented to the organization.
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is strongly positive and congratulatory. The bill text itself is celebratory, and there is no recorded committee debate or vote history indicating opposition or controversy. The overall tone is one of appreciation for CCFM’s longevity, religious mission, and community-oriented programming.
There is no notable contention reflected in the available materials. Because the measure is a noncontroversial honorary resolution, no competing positions, amendments, or recorded objections appear in the provided context. Any discussion implied by the text centers on praise for the organization’s faith-based service, leadership, and community outreach rather than on policy disagreement.
