  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Rev. Dr. 
Dwight C. Northington on his retirement as Senior Pastor of Calvary 
Baptist Church in Red Bank, New Jersey. Dr. Northington has led Calvary 
Baptist Church for over 21 years and his dedication is truly deserving 
of this body's recognition.

for Travelers Insurance Company. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He 
is married to his wife Rebecca and together they have two daughters, 
Bianca and Alisha, a granddaughter Aniya and grandson Nukeil.
  In addition to his 21 years of service to Calvary Baptist Church, Dr. 
Northington is an active member of the community. He has served as the 
past moderator of the Seacoast Missionary Baptist Association, past 
member of the Red Bank Board of Education and past president of the 
Westside Ministerial Alliance.
  Dr. Northington is committed to learning and teaching. He graduated 
from Morgan State University, Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary and 
Drew University and has taught homiletics at New Brunswick Theological 
Seminary and worked as an Adjunct Professor of the Brookdale Community 
College Psychology Department.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Dr. Northington on his 
pastoral retirement and thanking him for his many years of dedicated 
service and leadership to the Calvary Baptist Church congregation and 
the greater community.
