                       Tuesday, December 7, 2010

  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Madam Speaker, in recognition of Kingdom 
Metropolitan Worship Center's 15th Pastor Appreciation & Church 
Anniversary Celebration, I rise today to honor my friend and 
constituent, Senior Pastor Bishop Marshall S. McGill.
  Bishop McGill is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Kingdom 
Metropolitan Worship Centre, a non-denominational church located in 
Columbus, Georgia. Through Bishop McGill's faithful stewardship, the 
church has become one of the most progressive congregations in 
Columbus.
  He is a native of Dayton, Ohio. He was educated in Biblical 
Counseling and Pastoral Care in Ohio and Alabama, respectively. In 
addition, Bishop McGill received his Doctorate of Humane Letters.
  For over twenty years, Bishop McGill has been blessed with a loving 
wife, First Lady, Pastor Teresa Y. McGill, from Huntsville, Alabama. 
Along with committing their lives to God, they have raised four 
wonderful sons, who serve in the ministry with their parents.
  He is the Founder and Superintendent of Kingdom Christian Academy and 
Preparatory School--a school for students in grades K-12 with three 
locations in the Columbus area. He is also the Founder of Bainbridge 
Christian Centre in Bainbridge, Georgia, as well as the Overseer of 
Grace Church in Barcelona, Spain. He also is the Founder and President 
of The Good Samaritan Counseling & Resource Institute.
  Bishop McGill is a sought-after International Conference Speaker and 
Teacher. As part of his global ministry he has been called to Europe, 
Ghana, India, Israel, South Africa, Spain, and Swaziland. He is 
overseer of ``Go Ye Nations'' in Nagercoil, India, with over 200 
pastors and missionaries under his leadership and care. India also is 
home to the ``Marshall McGill's Children Home,'' an orphanage and 
school for disadvantaged and physically impaired children.
  Locally, Bishop McGill has served as Chaplain for the City Council of 
Columbus. Currently, he is the active Chaplain for the Columbus Marshal 
and Sheriff Departments.
  Bishop McGill possesses an incredible love for children and young 
adults, a desire to help the needy and to empower people to reach their 
full potential. His dedication is evident as he is often quoted as 
saying, ``We have often failed generations of the past because we 
failed to educate and train up leaders qualified to carry the torch for 
tomorrow.''
  Madam Speaker, Bishop McGill has ministered on both local and global 
levels, striving to improve the world for the next generation. His 
spiritual guidance is an asset to our community and to the world and he 
is a constant reminder of what it means to be a child of God.
