House Joint Resolution 7012 honors Reverend Dwayne Dickson, Beth Dickson, and the members of First Christian Church in Mountain City for their exceptional service to the community of Johnson County following the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene on September 27, 2024. The hurricane resulted in significant destruction, leaving many residents in urgent need of assistance. In response, the Dicksons and their congregation have worked tirelessly to provide relief, comfort, and hope, coordinating volunteer efforts from across the United States and Canada to facilitate the repair and rebuilding of homes in the area.

The resolution acknowledges the church's role as a central hub for recovery efforts, where they have hosted numerous volunteer teams and worked on dozens of homes, including constructing new residences for families in need. Despite the progress made, recovery efforts are ongoing, and the contributions of First Christian Church remain vital to the community's healing process. The resolution expresses the General Assembly's respect and admiration for the Dicksons and their congregation, recognizing their dedication to service as a source of pride for both the community and the State of Tennessee.
