In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing The Harvest Tabernacle Church, led by Apostle Travis and Pastor Stephanie Jennings, on its 25th anniversary. The church began in 2000 with its first service at a hotel in Stone Mountain, Georgia, and the resolution recounts its growth and community outreach, including meals served, baptisms, and youth programs. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally congratulates the church and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the church as a keepsake of the honor.
