A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR THE CHRISTIAN COVENANT 
FELLOWSHIP OF MINISTRIES ON THE OCCASION OF ITS TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY, TO 
CONGRATULATE THE MEMBERS OF THIS FINE ORGANIZATION FOR A QUARTER CENTURY OF 
SERVING THE LORD AND HIS PEOPLE, AND TO WISH THE GROUP AND ITS LEADER, BISHOP 
MICHAEL BLUE, MANY MORE YEARS OF BLESSING AS THEY CONTINUE TO SERVE.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to 
learn that the Christian Covenant Fellowship of Ministries (CCFM) is 
celebrating twenty-five years of touching the nations from the Pee Dee region 
in 2025; and

Whereas, the group was birthed by God's providential design: In 
December 2000, a group of ministers from South Carolina, North Carolina, and 
Ohio met to share their hearts' burden concerning the need for fellowship. 
Though their congregations were autonomous, they acknowledged the sincere need 
for personal and doctrinal accountability and a deeper sense of connectedness 
to others within the Body of Christ. Therefore, out of that meeting was formed 
a covenant group, the Christian Covenant Fellowship of Ministries. Bishop 
Michael Blue was selected to lead the fledgling fellowship; and

Whereas, this network of leaders agreed to gather for a conference in 
May 2001 in Marion, South Carolina. The first conference was a tremendous 
success as the leaders and their congregants came together to worship, pray, 
study, and strategize for more effectiveness in their locales. It became clear 
to all that this was not merely a good idea, but a God idea; and

Whereas, since those initial gatherings in 2000 and 2001, tremendous 
growth has occurred in the fellowship and in the conference. This year, while 
CCFM presents the King's Summit 2025, June 17-21, at Florence Center, it also 
will celebrate its silver anniversary. This milestone event, since the 
pandemic, has attracted over one thousand three hundred attendees nightly from 
across the nation and beyond, focusing on faith, empowerment, and community 
development. CCFM's influence spans fifteen states and nearly eighty affiliated 
churches, impacting ministries, leaders, and communities; and

Whereas, CCFM's mission is to enhance the community, engage culture, 
and exalt Christ. This mission also includes empowering faith-based leaders and 
communities and providing tools for spiritual and personal growth while 
fostering collaboration for the greater good; and

Whereas, CCFM's work has included offering adult seminars on physical 
and psychological health, opioid awareness, finances, men's issues, women's 
issues, entrepreneurship, marriage, single living, youth suicide prevention, 
legal matters for churches, leadership, home ownership, community college, 
community engagement, and various facets of ministry and auxiliary functions. 
The organization has placed particular emphasis on preparing generations of 
young adults for leadership and has developed a youth conference for the 
natural and spiritual development of children and teens. CCFM further offers an 
annual college scholarship to high school graduates. Most importantly, however, 
inspirational worship services, morning and evening, provide the anchor and 
framework for the conference. Outstanding speakers, clinicians, and musical 
artists from across the nation and the world have served CCFM during these 
years. 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 Christian Covenant Fellowship 
of Ministries on the occasion of its twenty-fifth anniversary, congratulate the 
members of this fine organization for a quarter century of serving the Lord and 
his people, and wish the group and its leader, Bishop Michael Blue, many more 
years of blessing as they continue to serve.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
the Christian Covenant Fellowship of Ministries.
