House Joint Resolution 510, sponsored by McKenzie, recognizes Trinity Tabernacle Church of God in Christ in Knoxville on the occasion of its fifty-ninth anniversary, which will be celebrated on April 27, 2025. The resolution highlights the church's significant role in the community, tracing its origins back to the merger of three Holiness Church families: Grace Tabernacle, New Life-Emmanuel, and Trumpet in Zion. Grace Tabernacle, the mother church, was established in 1966 and has since evolved into Trinity Tabernacle, which has become a cornerstone of faith and outreach in the Knoxville area.
The resolution commends the church for its unwavering commitment to service, including community outreach, evangelism, and various ministries aimed at helping those in need. It acknowledges the church's impact on the lives of many individuals and its contribution to fostering a stable and just society. The House of Representatives and the Senate express their gratitude to the congregation and its leaders for their exemplary service and wish them continued success in their mission.
