House Joint Resolution 583, sponsored by Littleton, recognizes and commends the St. John Cultural Arts Center at the Promise Land Historic Site for its significant contributions to the community. Officially dedicated on September 8, 2024, this restored church building serves as a cultural hub, hosting various activities such as choral concerts, art exhibitions, and history displays. The center is also available for rental, providing a versatile space for celebrations and meetings. The historic St. John Methodist Church, originally built in the 1880s and rebuilt in 1935 after a fire, holds deep historical significance as it was a place of worship for a community of formerly enslaved individuals and veterans of the United States Colored Troops.

The resolution highlights the efforts of the Promise Land Heritage Association (PLHA) in restoring the building and emphasizes its connection to notable figures like John Lewis and The Promise Land Singers. This cultural center not only enriches the local community but also preserves the history of Promise Land, making it a vital addition to Tennessee's cultural landscape. The resolution concludes by formally recognizing the center and commending the PLHA for their dedication to sharing and preserving the area's rich heritage.
