A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR PASTOR 
JAMES C. WOODLEY OF GILL CREEK BAPTIST CHURCH IN COLUMBIA ON THE OCCASION OF 
HIS TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF GOSPEL MINISTRY AT GILL CREEK 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. Pastor James C. Woodley of Gill Creek Baptist Church 
in Columbia stands among their number as an outstanding minister of the gospel, 
one much admired by colleagues, congregations, and area residents at large; and

Whereas, in 2006, God 
called James C. Woodley to serve as pastor of Friendship Baptist Church in 
Paterson, New Jersey. As only the second undershepherd in Friendship's 
thirty-year history, he faithfully served its congregation for more than nine 
years. In December 2014, Pastor Woodley answered God's call to serve as senior 
pastor of Gill Creek Baptist Church in Columbia, and he is now celebrating ten 
years of shepherding God's flock at Gill Creek; and

Whereas, in preparation 
for his ministry, Pastor Woodley earned his bachelor's degree from the College 
of New Rochelle, a master's degree in divinity from Drew University in Madison, 
New Jersey, and a postgraduate degree (EdS in Marriage and Family Therapy) from 
Seton Hall University. Further, he studied formational counseling at Ashland 
Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio; and

Whereas, in addition to 
his service as a minister, Pastor Woodley has served in the field of mental 
health, assisting individuals and families in crisis, and he is the sole 
proprietor of Family-Ties Counseling Services. God has truly blessed Pastor 
Woodley with unique talents in teaching and preaching the Word of God, as well 
as in counseling the people of God. He has a passion for ministering to God's 
people and a hunger for learning and presenting God's Word as a servant of the 
Lord; and

Whereas, in recognition 
of his outstanding ministry, Gill Creek's members will celebrate Pastor Woodley's 
service to the church and community and his tenth anniversary as Gill Creek's 
pastor with a banquet on Saturday, March 8, 2025; and

Whereas, because of his 
many years of spiritual nourishment of the people of South Carolina, James 
Woodley 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 
Pastor James C. Woodley of Gill Creek Baptist Church in Columbia on the 
occasion of his tenth anniversary of gospel ministry at Gill Creek 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 Pastor James C. Woodley.
