SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 643
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Inman Christian Center on the occasion of its 100th
anniversary, which is being celebrated April 13, 2013; and
WHEREAS, Inman Christian Center traces its roots to an
organization known as the Mexican Institute of San Antonio that
was founded by Disciples missionary Dr. Samuel Guy Inman, local
pastor Dr. Hugh McLellan, and the Christian Women's Board of
Missions; the institute sought to meet community needs by
teaching English reading and writing to help area residents
obtain jobs and by providing child care services, a medical
clinic, and Bible classes; and
WHEREAS, The institute later changed its name to the
Mexican Christian Institute to better reflect its missionary
efforts and in 1961 was renamed Inman Christian Center in honor
of its founder; and
WHEREAS, Through the years, Inman Christian Center has
ministered faithfully to the temporal and spiritual needs of
countless people; it has continued to provide low-income
residents with a variety of support and educational services,
including child care, senior housing, a food pantry, and summer
recreation programs; and
WHEREAS, The celebration of its 100th anniversary is an
expression of the center's enduring commitment to providing
enlightenment and hope to the people it serves; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby extend best wishes for a memorable 100th
anniversary celebration to all those associated with Inman
Christian Center; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the center as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
