The bill, S. 1017, is a Senate Resolution that congratulates St. Peter AME Church on the dedication of its historical marker and commends the church for its long-standing service to the people and the State of South Carolina. The resolution highlights the church's rich history, established by five former enslaved individuals in 1881, and its evolution from humble beginnings to a significant community institution that has provided both spiritual guidance and education to African American children in Calhoun County.

The resolution acknowledges the contributions of various pastors and community members who have played vital roles in the church's development and modernization over the years. It emphasizes the resilience of the congregation, particularly in overcoming challenges such as weather-related damage, and recognizes the extensive research that has brought attention to the church's historical significance. The resolution concludes by expressing appreciation for the church's dedication to serving the community and directs that a copy of the resolution be presented to the current pastor, Reverend Virgil Hammett.
