I rise today to congratulate Sugar Creek Baptist Church for celebrating 40 years of prayer and worship. This 9.600member church is a local and global leader. The church contributes upwards of $2 million annually to local and international mission and church development programs. Over the last 12 years. Sugar Creek Baptist Church has directly supported 93 new churches. Just last year. the church led the development of the Freedom Church Alliance. an organization that works with local churches and organizations to fight human trafficking. Its members are constant volunteers in local refugee and prison communities. too. Throughout its 40 years. Sugar Creek Baptist Church has been a model of faith and a leader in our community.
