In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Liberty Ministries Family Worship, which held its first service on February 4, 2001, for reaching its 25th anniversary. The resolution notes the church's community activities, including hosting summer camps, operating a nonprofit food pantry called Liberty Helping Hands, Inc., and tutoring local youth in math and reading. The resolution states the church celebrates its anniversary on March 15, 2026, with homecoming events and worship services open to current and former members and the community. The House formally commends the church's 25 years of service and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the church.
