Young Heart for Service Nomination Form

Young Hearts for Service Award
Nomination Form

The LDA is called to serve, even as we prepare others for ministry. We seek to recognize and honor the work of young people who are practicing lives of service to Christ in the church and world. To do this, we offer the Young Heart for Service Award. This award is given to a young person who practices diaconal ministry in their own life, their community, and their congregation.

Why are we offering this award?

The diaconate is vital in accompanying the church through drastic societal and religious change. Teaching our young people about diakonia helps equip the larger church.
Honoring young people’s service promotes diakonia in congregations.
To help congregations and individuals understand the role of diaconal service and the ways in which they already practice it.
To encourage congregations to better understand and participate in the ministry of their youth.
In an age where fewer young people are involved in worship and congregational life, recognizing the young people who are living lives of service in Christ both supports them and furthers the mission of the church.
The LDA strives to be diaconal to its own church bodies and members; recognizing and honoring diaconal service in others is part of equipping the church.
