Last action March 12, 2026 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution formally recognizes The Faith Center in Tucker for opening its new church facility and commends its pastors and congregation for community service.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes any statute. It recognizes The Faith Center, a church in the Tucker community near metro Atlanta, on the occasion of the grand opening and dedication of its new church facility. The resolution praises the church's leadership, Senior Pastor Vincent Campbell and First Lady Felicia Campbell, and commends the congregation for its worship, outreach, education, and community partnerships. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to The Faith Center as a keepsake of the honor.
