CELEBRATING SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF SANTA ANA

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 36 (Tuesday, February 24, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 36 (Tuesday, February 24, 2026)] [House] [Page H2265] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF SANTA ANA (Mr. MIN of California was recognized to address the House for 5 minutes.) Mr. MIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 103rd anniversary of Second Baptist Church of Santa Ana, the largest predominantly Black church in Orange County. Under the leadership of Senior Pastor Ivan S. Pitts, Second Baptist Church has become a cornerstone of our faith community. With congregations in both Irvine and Santa Ana, Second Baptist serves as a place of worship where people can find care, dignity, and belonging. Through a variety of activities, including health fairs, vaccination clinics, youth programs, cultural events, and other civic engagement, the church has met people where they are and served as a vital cultural hub for our region. In times of crisis, Second Baptist Church has led with action and led with works. From delivering groceries to seniors and single-mother households during the recent government shutdown to dispatching emergency response teams to support flood and fire victims, their commitment to service never wavers. Madam Speaker, Second Baptist Church represents the very best of Orange County, and I am so proud to honor them today. ____________________
