WHEREAS, The members of Greater Vision Church in Houston are
marking the 20th anniversary of their church's founding with a
homecoming celebration on March 19, 2023; and
WHEREAS, Since its organization in 2003, Greater Vision
Church has benefited from the dedicated efforts of Pastor L. D. Lee
Sr., who established the congregation with 350 members; today, this
respected clergyman continues to lead the thriving church, and in
carrying out his duties, he draws on the vital support of the GVC
deacons and associate ministers; and
WHEREAS, In December 2003, the church purchased property on
Westshire Drive that included four buildings on nearly five acres
of land; less than a year later, the GVC family officially moved
into its new sanctuary at the site, and after a decade and a half of
hard work and perseverance, the congregation held a
mortgage-burning ceremony on September 9, 2018; and
WHEREAS, United by their shared faith and strong traditions,
the members of this notable house of worship have established a
variety of commendable programs that foster fellowship as well as
numerous ministries that offer help to those in need; and
WHEREAS, Many Houston residents have looked to Greater Vision
Church for spiritual guidance over the years, and it is a pleasure
to join in honoring the church at this special time in its rich
history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 20th anniversary of Greater
Vision Church and extend to its members sincere best wishes for the
future; 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.
