   RECOGNIZING THE LIFETIME OF SERVICE AND MINISTRY OF PASTOR DENIS 
                                McBRIDE

                                 ______

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 19, 2018

  Mr. GAETZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Pastor Denis 
McBride of the PCC Campus Church for his remarkable lifetime of service 
and ministry in Northwest Florida and around the world.
  He began his ministry serving as a youth pastor, in addition to 
teaching history and Bible prior to his move to Pensacola, FL. He is a 
favorite among students across the nation and world as he dynamically 
taught Bible and history for over 25 years through the ABeka Academy 
distance-learning program.
  In August of 2011, God called him to pastor Campus Church located on 
the premises of Pensacola Christian College. Pastor McBride displays a 
genuine love for families and a heart for young people.
  As senior pastor of the Campus Church, he not only ministered to 
students, but also local families and thousands more across the country 
through the Rejoice telecast. People are automatically drawn to Pastor 
McBride for his down-to-earth personality and genuine interest in each 
member's spiritual well-being.
  Faith and family values are the pillars of Northwest Florida, and it 
is an honor for me to have faith leaders in our district, such as 
Pastor McBride, who represent, preserve and promote those strong values 
through their leadership and service.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am privileged 
to congratulate Pastor Denis McBride for his lifetime of service and 
the extraordinary legacy he leaves for future leaders of our Faith.
