HJR 138 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Tharptown Baptist Church, honored

HJR 138 is a symbolic resolution honoring Tharptown Baptist Church in Franklin County, Alabama, for over 130 years of community service. It commends the church for its historical role as a spiritual and social hub, including its ministries, educational efforts, and support through community challenges. The resolution has no legal effect or policy changes - it simply expresses the Alabama Legislature’s formal appreciation for the church’s "enduring legacy of faith and service." This is a non-binding commemorative gesture, not a bill affecting laws or regulations.
