A Senate RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE Mount Zion African Methodist 
Episcopal Church UPON THE OCCASION OF ITS homecoming and its one hundred 
eighteenth ANNIVERSARY AND TO COMMEND the church FOR ITS MANY YEARS OF 
DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE Calhoun COMMUNITY AND THE PEOPLE AND THE STATE OF 
SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Senate is proud to recognize Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal 
Church as it celebrates this important milestone; and

Whereas, Mount Zion was 
organized in the early 1900s and the church's members worshiped under a brush 
arbor until 1914, when church members bought a parcel of land and built a 
church. Mount Zion was rebuilt in 1954; and

Whereas, under the 
pastorate of the Reverend Dr. Jeffrey Hunter, the church engages and encourages 
others through a life-changing journey. The church's mission is to nurture a 
diverse and welcoming community, committed to following fearlessly wherever God 
leads them, and to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of 
Calhoun and the world; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate appreciate the dedication and commitment of Mount 
Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church to serving the people and the State of 
South Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the 
Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Mount Zion African 
Methodist Episcopal Church upon the occasion of its Homecoming and its one 
hundred eighteenth anniversary and commend the church for its many years of 
dedicated service to the Calhoun community and the people and the State of 
South Carolina.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the pastor of Mount Zion African 
Methodist Episcopal Church, Reverend Dr. Jeffrey Hunter.
