WHEREAS, The Baptist General Convention of Texas is
celebrating the 75th anniversary of its Christian Life Commission
in 2025; and

conceived by a group of messengers in 1949, when they voted that the
Baptist General Convention of Texas should initiate a plan to offer
spiritual guidance on current events and modern-day issues; the
commission was officially established in 1950; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, the Christian Life Commission has
developed a number of commendable programs, including ministries
that advocate for justice and public policies, promote ethical
Christian living, and partner with other organizations to provide
help to those in need; and
WHEREAS, The Christian Life Commission has played an
instrumental role in advancing the mission of the Baptist General
Convention of Texas, and it is indeed fitting to recognize the
organization's significant contributions on this special milestone
in its history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 89th Texas Legislature
hereby commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Christian Life
Commission and extend to all those affiliated with the organization
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the commission as an expression of high regard by the
