House Resolution 2009 is a commemorative resolution honoring Land of Promise Church in Spotsylvania County on the occasion of its 30th anniversary. The resolution recognizes the church’s founding in 1996 by Dr. James Edward King, its long-standing role in providing worship, fellowship, and charitable outreach, and its broader community presence through ministries and a satellite location in Stafford. It also highlights the church’s pastor and members as contributors to local civic life and community well-being.
The resolution does not create, amend, or repeal any state law. Instead, it is a ceremonial measure directing the Clerk of the House of Delegates to present a copy of the resolution to the church as an expression of the House’s admiration and appreciation. Its practical effect is symbolic, serving as an official legislative commendation rather than a policy change.
HR2009 has no direct legal or regulatory impact on Virginia statutes, agencies, or private parties. It is a nonbinding House resolution that formally recognizes a religious संस्था’s community service and instructs the Clerk to prepare a presentation copy. The only affected party is Land of Promise Church, which receives public acknowledgment from the House of Delegates.
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is strongly positive and appreciative. The text praises the church’s 30 years of service, its spiritual leadership, charitable outreach, and contributions to the Spotsylvania County community. No votes, committee debate, or recorded opposition are provided, and the available context suggests the measure was treated as an honorary resolution with broad goodwill.
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because the resolution is purely commemorative, it does not appear to have generated policy disagreement, fiscal concerns, or legal debate. The only substantive content is praise for the church’s history, leadership, and community service.
