Timothy Award Recipients

Loman was such a huge asset to our youth ministry team. His heart for young people was incredible. He cared deeply for every student who walked through the doors of our church and our youth ministry.

Jim really shines when he is working with young people, including the complicated, broken, dysfunctional, messy stuff. He has been faithful, consistent, and passionate in his love for young people and to God. 

"Shirley is an amazing woman who has dedicated so much of her time and effort to the teens and to the rest of the church. She goes above and beyond for anyone she meets, nobody is a stranger to her."

Roger is directly responsible for the growth and impact of NYI ministry upon the lives of many students. Under his leadership, the ministry grew from a few churches to dozens. 

Over the 26 years of Joe's youth ministry, he has dedicated his life to the youth around him. If ever anyone was qualified for such a prestigious award, he is. 

"Pastor Chris is a team player and has shown dedication and devotion to the youth of South Charleston First Church of the Nazarene for twenty years. His heart for people is unsurpassed."

"Two generations of our church have been led and taught by the amazing Sharon. She goes above and beyond her ministries, serving in ways many will never see or know."

"Jerry has a big heart for students and has served in youth ministry for thirty years. We are so excited to honor Jerry for his servant's heart."

"The Dutch district NYI is very thankful for Wouter's work. He really helped the Dutch youth work to develop to a new level. He invested time and showed his youth workers heart, character, vision, creativity, flexibility and leadership skills."

"We are experiencing momentum and revival among the youth, and leaders are thinking differently about the strategic role of youth in the church, mostly due to Arthur's guidance and commitment to create a culture of leadership development."

Our youth group has fueled the growth at our church and Bret and DeAnna have been foundational in the investment we have made in our teens and for this we are forever grateful.

Youth ministry has always been an important part of Mike and Melinda's ministry. After 28 years of service, they still love students and have a commitment to investing in the next generation.
