WHEREAS, Victorious Life Church in Lewisville dedicated a new |
|
facility in March 2007, and this joyous milestone in the history of |
|
the church is indeed an occasion worthy of special recognition; and |
|
WHEREAS, Formerly named First Assembly of God, Carrollton, |
|
the church has been serving the spiritual needs and contributing to |
|
the social well-being of its community for more than 65 years; with |
|
its relocation to southern Lewisville, it has undergone a name |
|
change to Victorious Life Church, while retaining its affiliation |
|
with the Assemblies of God fellowship; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Reverend Mark Akers has ably guided the |
|
congregation since 1988; he brought to his current pastorate a |
|
wealth of experience gained through his previous service as pastor |
|
of First Assembly of God in Hamilton and as associate pastor of |
|
Bethel Assembly of God in Temple; his preparation also includes |
|
studies at Temple College, Rhema Bible Training Center, the Berean |
|
School of the Bible, and Baylor University; and |
|
WHEREAS, Reverend Akers, his wife, Sharon, their children, |
|
Matthew, Nathan, and Bradley, and the entire congregation may look |
|
to the future with anticipation and joy as they continue their |
|
spiritual journey in their new church home, which stands today as a |
|
tribute to the dedication of its members, past and present, who have |
|
devoted their time, energy, and financial resources to ensure its |
|
continued existence as a house of God; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Reverend Mark Akers and the |
|
members of Victorious Life Church on the completion of their new |
|
facility and commend them for their outstanding contributions to |
|
the spiritual enrichment of their community; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the church as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
