“today I wish to honor Pastor Bennie Moran of Faith Baptist Church in Morgantown, WV, upon his retirement after 49 years of faith-based service to the community. Pastor Moran held the church's first service in 1967 from his home with only 10 people in attendance. Word of the newly formed church spread throughout the county, so the growing congregation had to meet at the Westover Community Building for the next 7 years. In 1973, the church moved into its first permanent location. Faith Baptist Church remained there until 1995, which is when they moved into their current location. Pastor Moran was there helping the church every step of the way. Born in Fairmont, WV, Bennie grew up a son of a coal miner. He attended Fairmont State University for his undergraduate degree and received his doctorate from Bob Jones University. Bennie also proudly served his country in the U.S. Army. I am honored to represent this individual who has faithfully served both this country and his community. Today I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Pastor Moran's service to Faith Baptist Church and the State of West Virginia. ____________________”
