H.R. No. 3127
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Grace School of Theology, a Houston-based
evangelical institution, is providing a quality religious
education to a growing number of students; and
WHEREAS, Initially known as Houston Theological Seminary,
Grace School of Theology was incorporated on May 29, 2001, by a
group of seven men who would become the institution's board of
trustees; the school opened in the fall of 2002, with classes held
at Cypress Bible Church, in Cypress, and at Faith Bible Church of
The Woodlands; the seminary later moved its classrooms and academic
offices to locations on and near the College of Biblical Studies
campus in Southwest Houston; and
WHEREAS, Led by school president Dr. Dave Anderson and board
chair Dr. Glenn Darby, two of the original trustees, Grace School
of Theology attracts students with a variety of backgrounds,
ranging from current pastors and church staff to laypeople wanting
to put their ministry gifts to use; the reach of the institution has
expanded with the establishment of online instruction, as well as
additional teaching locations in Beaumont, San Antonio, and
Midland; and
WHEREAS, Since its inception, Grace School of Theology has
helped many Texans develop the knowledge and wisdom necessary to
become religious leaders in their communities, and the school's
faculty and staff are indeed deserving of recognition for their
innumerable contributions to the Lone Star State; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Grace School of Theology for its service
and extend to its administration, faculty, staff, and students
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the school as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
