  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge a 
special occasion for West Orlando Baptist Church in Winter Garden, 
Florida. West Orlando Baptist Church will celebrate their 45th 
anniversary and new building dedication on October 2, 2016.
   On October 3, 1971, more than 100 charter members founded 
Metropolitan Baptist Church in Pine Hills, Florida. Today, known as 
West Orlando Baptist Church it serves more than 700 in Winter Garden, 
FL. In honor of their 45th anniversary, West Orlando Baptist Church is 
dedicating a new 32,000-square foot expansion in Winter Garden, which 
includes a brand-new sanctuary and additional classrooms.
   I would like to thank West Orlando Baptist Church for their 45 years 
of faithful ministry to our community and their dedication to Christian 
leadership. Many lives have been impacted through the church's 
ministry.
   On behalf of the people of Central Florida, it is my pleasure to 
recognize and congratulate West Orlando Baptist Church on this 
momentous occasion. May God continue to bless their church and ministry 
throughout future generations.
