Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives have learned that Dr. Terry Glenn Duvall will begin a well-deserved retirement on April 3, 2016, after forty years as the distinguished and highly-regarded pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church in Cherokee County; and
Whereas, he grew up in Georgia as the son of a pastor and earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia; and
Whereas, Terry Duvall served in government for a short time as a clerk, but after a Damascus Road experience like that of Paul the Apostle, he turned from government service to service in the Church, in spite of his youthful vow not follow in his father's footsteps; and
Whereas, he completed a master of theology and a doctorate of ministry at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky; and
Whereas, in his four decades of service as the pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church, Dr. Duvall has served in countless local and state leadership roles in the South Carolina Baptist Convention advocating for the inclusion of all people in service to the Lord; and
Whereas, under his leadership, Macedonia has hosted an annual Vacation Bible School at Granard Courts, a Gaffney Housing Authority community, and he advocates for Personal Emergency Assistance-Cherokee Helping (PEACH) Center Ministries, a centralized community mission offering assistance to the needy; and
Whereas, he has worked with Cherokee Pregnancy Center, a ministry to women with unplanned pregnancies, and with the Cherokee Chamber of Commerce to boost tourism in the community; and
Whereas, recently Dr. Duvall has served with the Know(2) initiative on the Do the Math Task Force, which works to improve math education by fostering positive attitudes about math, supporting excellence in math curricula, and promoting opportunities within educational programs. Do the Math is designed to provide more competitive education that will afford better employment opportunities for individuals and thereby a stronger economy for the community; and
Whereas, together with his beloved wife, the former Allison Glass, he reared two fine children, Kristin Duvall Parker and Jonathan Duvall. They have blessed their parents with five adoring grandchildren: Alli, Elizabeth, and Luke Parker; and Owen and Audrey Duvall, with their sister Cora due to arrive in May; and
