Senate Resolution 7012 honors Dr. Ben Graham for his dedicated service as the senior pastor of Music City Baptist Church in Mt. Juliet, where he has served since February 1998. The resolution highlights Dr. Graham's commitment to his ministry, his integrity, and his contributions to the community, including his role as president of Graham Family Films, which produces family-friendly content. Additionally, it notes his involvement with former President Donald Trump's Faith Team initiative, where he acted as a liaison among faith directors and led pastors' groups to events at the White House.
As Dr. Graham prepares to step down from his pastoral role on October 29, 2023, to pursue new opportunities in ministry and faith-based films, the resolution expresses gratitude for his accomplishments and the positive impact he has made. It acknowledges his supportive family, including his wife Candice and their children, and recognizes Dr. Graham as a loving father, shepherd, artist, and friend who embodies the spirit of Tennessee. The Senate extends its best wishes for his future endeavors.
