Alumni of the Year — As we present the Alumni of the Year Awards, our heartfelt prayer is that God will be honored and praised for the incredible ways He has worked in the lives of the recipients. We proudly celebrate each honoree as a true example of faith, character, and excellence—living out the calling to “Know Him and Make Him Known.” Their lives are a powerful testimony of God’s grace and faithfulness.
