  Mr. OGLES. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I honor Inglewood 
Baptist Church in Nashville as it celebrates its 100th anniversary.
  First meeting on November 18, 1923, Inglewood Baptist was officially 
``called to order'' on March 18th the following year. In the late 
1920's, its congregation moved to its current location on Gallatin 
Road, meeting in a basement auditorium on the site where it still meets 
today. Its seventh and current pastor, Dr. Kevin Shrum, has shepherded 
his community since 1995.
  Existing to ``make known the Glory of God in the Gospel of Jesus 
Christ,'' Inglewood Baptist seeks to edify believers in their personal 
and saving relationship with their Lord. Over the past century it has 
continued to grow and build its community, completing its current 
auditorium in 1948 and finishing a four-story educational complex in 
1955. In addition to its other ministries; it has instituted the 
Allegro School of Music, which provides an opportunity for music 
education and skill development for those living in the Nashville area.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating Inglewood Baptist 
Church on its 100th anniversary and wishing it well as it starts its 
second century as a congregation.
