Church of the Year

by Thom Rainer

Every church faithfully engaging their community for the gospel deserves to be Church of the Year. Pastors and lay leaders all over the country are taking the time to plow the fields and sow seed. The work is hard and isn’t always immediately fruitful.

The Church Answers team and Revitalize Network have come together to create an award to recognize the faithful work of churches seeking to share the redemptive love of Jesus.

We would love to highlight every story, but we are limited to just a few. Do you know of a church who has…

  • faced insurmountable odds?
  • moved from flatlined to flourishing?
  • a godly pastor or lay leader needing recognition?
  • seen a movement of God?

Churches will be awarded in six different categories based on church size. Final nominees will be announced in March, and awards will be presented at Revitalize 2020 on April 20-21.

The six categories are

  • Churches <100
  • Churches 100 to 199
  • Churches 200 to 299
  • Churches 300 to 499
  • Churches 500 to 999
  • Churches 1000+

We need your help. Please nominate churches and leaders HERE. Nominations will close March 1st.
