Pastor David Gallemore 40th Anniversary

Sunday, September 10th during the morning service at Rock Springs Baptist Church in Easley (RSBC), SC Senator Rex Rice (District 2 in Pickens County) presented in special recognition to Pastor David Gallemore for his 40th Anniversary as Pastor of RSBC. After jokingly referring to himself being nervous as a Presybertian in front of a Baptist pastor and recognizing his military service for our country, Sen. Rice presented to Pastor David Gallemore a South Carolina Senate Congratulatory Resolution on behalf of his 40th Anniversary as Pastor of RSBC. Rice said that not only do you have over 6,000 members to look over, but you have a large community that knows you well and knows you as an anchor to this community.

Sen. Rice recognized that RSBC and Pastor Gallemore have a Godly Conservative impact on the most Conservative community in South Carolina. He says when in Columbia he is proud to know that his district is not only one of the most Conservative in the state but in the United States and in his mind there is no question about it.

On behalf of Governor Henry McMaster, Sen. Rice also presented Pastor Gallemore The Order of the Palmetto which is presented to those who have gone above and beyond their call of duty in South Carolina and its communities. The Order of the Palmetto is the highest civilian honor awarded by the governor of South Carolina. It is awarded to South Carolinians who demonstrate extraordinary lifetime achievement, service, and contributions of national or statewide significance.
