A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR THE 
REVEREND DR. MARCELL D. BUSH, SENIOR PASTOR OF MAJORITY BAPTIST CHURCH IN 
SPARTANBURG, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RECENT NINETEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF GOSPEL 
MINISTRY AT MAJORITY BAPTIST AND TO EXTEND TO HIM BEST WISHES FOR GOD'S RICHEST 
BLESSINGS AS HE CONTINUES TO SERVE THE LORD.

Whereas, it is entirely 
appropriate to honor those individuals who give tirelessly of themselves to 
nurture the souls of men. The Reverend Dr. Marcell D. Bush of Majority Baptist 
Church in Spartanburg stands among their number as an outstanding minister of 
the gospel, one much admired by colleagues, congregations, and area residents 
at large; and

Whereas, a native of 
Barnwell, the Reverend Dr. Marcell D. Bush came into this world on April 25, 
1970, the third of four sons born to the Reverend Monroe Bush Jr. and Mrs. 
Rudean Bush; and

Whereas, the young 
Marcell was educated in the Barnwell County public school system and graduated 
from Barnwell Senior High School in 1988. He went on to attend Johnson C. Smith 
University in Charlotte, North Carolina, and graduated cum laude with a 
bachelor's degree in business management and a minor in economics; and

Whereas, after his 
college graduation, Dr. Bush accepted a position with the St. Paul Insurance 
Companies as a medical and liability claims adjuster in Washington, D.C., and 
then a second position with Wachovia National Bank (formerly First Union), 
where he was promoted to assistant vice president in the bank's Retail and 
Commercial Banking Divisions in Charlotte; and

Whereas, in 1997, Dr. 
Bush was licensed to preach the gospel. In further preparation for his 
ministry, in 2003 he graduated cum laude from Hood Theological Seminary in 
Salisbury, North Carolina, where he earned his Master of Divinity degree. Dr. 
Bush received his Doctor of Ministry degree from United Theological Seminary in 
Dayton, Ohio, in 2013; and

Whereas, for three and 
a half years, Dr. Bush served as the full-time minister of youth and Christian 
education at Charlotte's Mount Carmel Baptist Church. In 2006, he was called to 
the Majority Baptist Church in Spartanburg, where he currently serves as senior 
pastor; and

Whereas, Dr. Bush 
considers it one of the greatest triumphs of his life that he was able to 
persuade the lovely Anita Bush to become his bride. They are the proud parents 
of three delightful children, Morgan, Rori, and Chelsea; and

Whereas, because of his 
many years of spiritual nourishment of the people of South Carolina, Dr. Bush 
is due grateful thanks and best wishes as he continues to run the race the Lord 
has set before him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor 
the Reverend Dr. Marcell D. Bush, senior pastor of Majority Baptist Church in 
Spartanburg, on the occasion of his recent nineteenth anniversary of gospel 
ministry at Majority Baptist and extend to him best wishes for God's richest 
blessings as he continues to serve the Lord.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to the Reverend Dr. Marcell D. Bush.
