Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Denielle Barnhardt, a pastor,\neducator, and arts advocate whose work has significantly impacted\nfamilies and students throughout Osceola County and Florida's 9th\nCongressional District.\n  She is the co-founder and senior pastor of The Way Worship Church,\nwhere she leads alongside her husband, Jaquan, with a family-centered\npastoral model that views the family as the prototype for the church\nand community life. Together, they are raising four beautiful children.\n  In 2013, Barnhardt founded Mrs. B's Music and Performing Arts\nTraining, and since 2017, she has worked intentionally to expand access\nto high-quality arts education across Osceola and Orange Counties.\nThrough seasons of growth and challenge, including the COVID-19\npandemic, she used the arts to keep families connected, students\nengaged, and communities resilient. Her efforts have led to the\nestablishment of musical theater programs in schools and community\nsettings, as well as strategic partnerships that connect children to\nquality arts programs and educational pathways through preparation and\nmentorship.\n  Barnhardt has also served as a startup consultant, strategist, and\ncurriculum developer for multiple private and micro-schools in Osceola\nCounty, helping to launch and strengthen innovative educational models\nrooted in excellence and community need. She currently serves as a PAX\ncoordinator, facilitating and overseeing cultural exchange initiatives\nthat promote global understanding among students in the United States\nand abroad. She recently launched The Hall Institute, a Bible college\nfocused on theological education and leadership formation.\n  With a background in the arts, Barnhardt received arts education from\nprimary school through high school and has performed on world-renowned\nstages, including Radio City Music Hall, Broadway, and other major\nvenues. Combined with her foundation in general education and a Master\nof Divinity in Church History, she bridges creative formation,\nhistorical theology, and pastoral leadership with rare\ninterdisciplinary depth.\n  She will soon step into the Navy Reserve Chaplaincy, expanding her\nservice to support service members and their families, and continuing\nher commitment to faith, education, and community leadership in Central\nFlorida.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2026-02-17-pt1-PgE140-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0051161516457796, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
