HONORING PASTOR PIERCE'S SIXTH ANNIVERSARY AT MOUNT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH

                                 ______

                       Friday, February 22, 2019

  Mr. WALKER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bishop Bryan J. 
Pierce's sixth anniversary as the Senior Pastor and Chief Executive 
Officer of Mount Zion Baptist Church of Greensboro. Beginning to preach 
at the age of six and ordained by nineteen, Bishop Pierce is a man 
after God's own heart. It was in June of 2011 that Bishop Pierce became 
the Chief Administrative Officer at Mount Zion and worked diligently 
until his elevation to Senior Pastor on January 1, 2013. He strongly 
believes that he who serves the city, wins the city, which is expressed 
through a Church-wide campaign called No Greater Love, where members of 
Mount Zion come together to serve the Greensboro community. Also 
serving as 1st Assistant to 2nd Presiding Bishop, Bishop Pierce is a 
noted songwriter, arranger and producer. He successfully released his 
first solo debut album, which reached No. 3 on Billboard's Top Gospel 
Albums Chart by capturing an amazing sound that has facilitated 
openings for the Glory of God to be manifested in the lives of His 
people. With 20 years of Senior Pastoral Leadership, we honor another 
anniversary of service and the faithful future he is sure to bring our 
community.
