Dennis Gingerich Faith in Action Award
Recognizing a church or ministry leader whose faith-driven leadership creates measurable impact in the community. This award honors a pastor, ministry director, church staff member, or faith-based leader who goes beyond the pulpit to actively serve their community — whether through outreach programs, partnerships with local nonprofits, disaster response, feeding ministries, mentorship, or other tangible acts of service. The recipient exemplifies how faith translates into action: someone who mobilizes their congregation or ministry to meet real needs, builds bridges between the faith community and the broader nonprofit sector, and leads with humility, compassion, and consistency. This award celebrates the unique role churches and ministries play as pillars of charitable work within the community.
