  Mr. GIMENEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Christ Journey 
Church as the congregation celebrates 100 years of faith, fellowship, 
and service to the South Florida community.
  Founded in 1926, Christ Journey Church has spent a century serving 
families throughout Miami-Dade County growing from 75 members to over 
5,000 members through worship, discipleship, leadership development, 
missions, and community outreach. For generations, the church has stood 
as a pillar of spiritual guidance and compassion, helping strengthen 
the values of faith, unity, and service across our community.
  Christ Journey Church has distributed more than 650,000 pounds of 
food since 2009, helping provide an estimated 540,000 meals to families 
throughout South Florida. The church has also mobilized countless 
volunteers supporting local schools, nonprofit organizations, and 
families.
  Beyond South Florida, Christ Journey Church has led mission efforts 
and partnerships throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the 
Middle East, Asia, and communities across the United States, reflecting 
its longstanding commitment to serving others.
  As the congregation marks this historic milestone, we recognize the 
pastors, leaders, members, and families whose dedication and faith 
helped shape the church's extraordinary legacy over the past century. 
Under the visionary leadership of Rev. Dr. William W. White, Christ 
Journey Church has continued to grow and expand its impact, recently 
completing a major expansion project that reaffirms its commitment to 
serving future generations.
  May Christ Journey Church continue to inspire hope, strengthen 
families, and serve our community for generations to come.
