Identifying professionals who are shining examples of Christian leadership in the workplace, community and church
Do you know someone who is a shining example of Christian leadership beyond the walls of the church? A doctor, a teacher, an artist, a business person — whatever their profession, they advance the cause of Christ and exemplify a stewardship of their life, influence and resources. Recommend this person as a Leader in Christian Service so that we all may learn from his or her example. Consideration is given to the following three areas:
- excellence of Christian character
- strong Christian example through professional or vocational leadership
- evidence of Christian leadership in the church and community
An independent review committee will review recommendations and select those to be recognized, who will be notified in late March.
Those being honored will be recognized at a special convocation service in the Mary B. Martin Auditorium in Seeger Memorial Chapel on the Milligan College campus on Tuesday, April 17, 2012.
