Honoring Faithful Servants Who Strengthen the Body of Christ
 
Purpose:
The Lighthouse Impact Award is presented annually to an individual who has demonstrated a Christ-centered life of faithful service, sacrificial generosity, and spiritual impact within the ministry of Lighthouse. This award is not about recognition for its own sake but about honoring the example of those who quietly and consistently reflect the love, humility, and faithfulness of Jesus in the life of the church.
 
Criteria for Selection:
The recipient will be someone who embodies the heart of true ministry in the following ways:
 
🔹Faithfulness in Presence
“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” — 1 Corinthians 4:2
The individual consistently attends services, prayer meetings, and church functions, modeling reliability, commitment, and a genuine desire for the betterment of this ministry.
 
🔹Sacrificial Generosity
“God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7
They support the ministry through regular and sacrificial financial giving, not for recognition purposes but out of love for this ministry and a desire to see it advance.
 
🔹Servant Leadership
“Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant.” — Matthew 20:26
The recipient gives their time and energy to serve in practical ways — whether through teaching, ushering, cleaning, evangelism, administration, or other vital roles — with humility and joy.
 
🔹Spiritual Integrity
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16
Their life bears the fruit of the Spirit. They are peacemakers, encouragers, and examples of holiness and love. They build others up and submit to spiritual leadership with a teachable spirit.
 
🔹Impact on the Body
“From whom the whole body fitly joined together… maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” — Ephesians 4:16
This person makes a tangible difference — not just through what they do, but in how their presence, prayers, and participation uplift the church as a whole.
