                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 19, 2021

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Heritage Baptist Church in Woodbridge, Virginia as it 
celebrates its 40 years of Christian: service.
  In 1981 the Heritage Baptist church was founded in a modest rental 
facility at Potomac Highschool. While small in numbers, this did not 
deter the church from making an impact on the community and spreading 
the word of God. To date, the Heritage Baptist Church has facilitated 
over 190 worldwide missions, boasts a congregation of over 500 members, 
and has planted 6 churches across the nation.
  In the last 40 years, the congregation has continued to flourish and 
grow. What began as a small group in a one-room church has evolved into 
a 17 acres campus that has touched the lives of and inspired hundreds 
of individuals.
  Today the Heritage Church can reach members of the community through 
the various programs offered, such as a K4 to a twelfth-grade Christian 
school, Sunday school bus outreach, the Heritage Institute of Ministry, 
and sermons in Spanish.
  Therefore, Madam Speaker, I ask that you rise with me in support of 
the Heritage Baptist Church 40th anniversary. May God bless the 
Heritage Baptist Church and its community and may He continue to work 
through it to continue to spread the Word of God.
