Truth Church, Bartlesville OK

Pastor Brian Fuller of Truth Church in Bartlesville, Oklahoma is the BEST! He showed my family the truth about not just repenting of my sins and getting baptized in the name of Jesus but of living a holy life everyday! I work with him and his wife daily and they are the same everyday at work as they are on Sunday! The joy and the love of Christ flow through them even on their hardest days!

Xenia devotes her time to minister God to the children on Sunday morning and Wednesday evenings. She encourages them. She also has them help with special backpacks for children in need. Which traces beyond the church. She has a big heart and loves these kids unconditionally. She is a wonderful role model for these children

Ark City 1st Assembly of God, Arkansas City

When I found my way back to Church, we were made to feel welcomed by Pastor and the congregation. I've learned more about our Bible in the last 4 years then I ever knew before. I love the way he breaks it down so we can understand what the words in the Bible truly means and how that applies to everyday life. One can truly see his love for the Lord, and he practices what he preaches in his every day life. We are truly blessed to have a wonderful caring man such as himself to lead us!

Arkansas City First Assembly , Arkansas city, ks

Pastor James always follows the leading of God regardless of how many hours he may have studied for his message. He knows the right times to stomp on your toes and he knows the right time to give you a holy hug. James truly allows himself to be led by Christ which shows not only in his messages but also in the way he leads his family and the way he presents himself in public. He is a greatly loved man of God and we are blessed to be in his flock.

Believers Southern Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas

I was pregnant with my second child when we got introduced to our Pastor at our state fair in Hutchinson. They host a tent called “The horseshoe ministry” where they stamp your name and the Bible verse John 3:16, while you wait for your name to be done, they take to a little spot and share the name of Jesus. While I was waiting for my name it was Pastor Tim who shared and he kept sharing and my heart felt so full and I felt convicted for the first time. He didn’t share where he preached or anything.. he was just sharing the Word of Jesus. A year later.. we went to a church and realized it WAS HIS church.. we recognized the Pastor and we knew instantly this was our church home and my husband and I have been there ever since. We are Sunday school teachers now for 1st and 2nd graders. We love our Pastor and we love our church. I am walking with Christ because of what he shared with me that one fair day.

First Baptist , Mountain View, Oklahoma

Brian is not only our pastor, but a good friend. He has been at our church about 18 years and when he first came, I was an avid runner. He was not lol. But through friendship, we invited him along, and now he runs marathons during the winter months when my husband is not busy farming, Brian has came to our house and done in-home Bible studies with us. My husband is not a big fan of big crowds and Brian knows that so he has done that several times with us. He is very sacrificial with his time and he has helped us grow tremendously in our knowledge of the Bible. I would love to see him win this night out and his wife, Ginna leads our worship team.

North Church OKC , OKC Oklahoma

After my first visit to North Pastor George reached out to me to welcome me to North and get to know me. That gesture has blossomed into a great relationship which Pastor George got me personally involved in several small groups and eventually beginning my own men’s group. Pastor George has caused me to renew my faith and my relationship with Jesus. I will forever be indebted to him for his love , kindness and mentorship.

The Salvation Army, Norman, OK

Since they became our officers they have helped us in our walk with Christ by encouraging us to be out there and win souls for Christ and taught us how to be better Christians.

First Baptist Church of Covington , Covington, OK

Phil does such a great job at all that he does, and is always putting others before himself. On my journey back to rebuilding my path back to Christ the past two years, he’s gone above and beyond preaching to me, answering my questions, and just supporting me in my journey.

Abundant Life Church, Stillwater, OK

He always does his best for God. He ❤️ and tender care of his congregation is evident in everything he does.

Enid First Assembly of God, Enid

Pastor Jarrod has a truly sincere Love for Christ, people and the Word of God. He shows this in his faithfulness to his church and community. He not only has taught the word of God with fervor, but also enthusiasm and Joy which spurs on others to share the gospel and serve others. He has also gone above and beyond his call as pastor of our church and adopted children in need of a home. He welcomes and loves ALL without judging. Pastor Jarrod and his wife, Jenny, are some of the most loving and kind individuals I have known. Pastor Jarrod encourages my walk with Christ by showing the Joy and Love of God in himself

Trinity Baptist Church , Richmond, Virginia

My pastor is deceased as of December 2025. Just wanted to honor his ministry and his impact on my life and ministry today.

Adoration Fellowship Church, Oklahoma City, OK

He is a man of God's Word! Today he briefly recalled that 4 years ago he heard the Lord tell him it was time to get out of the boat. He had been youth/associate Pastor for 30+ years and was on track to be given a thriving church within a few years. But God! It wasn't ment to be there and so he stepped out of the boat into God's plan. Since that day we have seen Miracles on Miracles in the lives of everyone this brave pastor and family have touched.

First Baptist Church of Anadarko, Anadarko, OK

I started attending First Baptist Church of Anadarko in 2020. My daughter had played the drums for the worship team for several years prior. I knew Pastor Bellamy for years as he had been my kids high school principal. After being assistant school superintendent for a number of years he was called into ministry at First Baptist Church. The moment I walked into that building I could feel the spirit. The worship team truly played and sang for our Lord. The messages that Pastor Bellamy delivers are truly from the Lord and he will tell you that. He always has time to listen and he truly cares about people knowing and believing Jesus. He gives all the credit and glory to God. He is just a true brother in Christ-please consider him for this Pastor award. Ps. And he really likes Mahogany’s.

Victory Family Church -Newcastle, Newcastle, OK

At the end of 2022, my husband and I were yearning to find a non-denominal church near us and our adult daughter welcomed us to try a church with her family. After 41 years together, we were amidst, "Cancer for 2" (started in 2021). We didn't have a crystal ball for the insanely difficult times we faced in the process. Glad to have been welcomed to (a still blossoming church) and Paster Matt passionately leading Victory Family Church in Newcastle. There were eventually times (for health reasons) we had to be "virtual" guests but so thankful that it was an option for us. There were also times that my husband had life-threatening critical events/hospitalizations. Any time my husband or I wanted to reach out to or see Pastor Matt- he made time for us. From the hospital room to our house. He always showed up for us. It brought forth so much peace for my husband (and me) to have that personal, faith filled connection with him. Pastor Matt was there every step of the way, even for my husbands last steps on earth. He departed May of 2025. Even beyond death, Pastor Matt (and his wonderful wife Julie) have been instrumental in being emotionally and faithfully being present for our family. They gracefully provided much needed guidance/space for the "Appreciation of Life". The absolute hardest gathering to plan in my entire life! Being a close-knit, growing church, they soon saw the need of creating a weekly group to help address and support those whom have lost loved ones. My faith and church family has truly grown exponentially. Thankful for Pastor Matt Porter (and the entire VFC team) that have had the authentic and genuine ability to build such a lovely community of people within the Community of Newcastle. Hallelujah!

Pastor Jonathon and his wife Charisma are some of the most genuine people you will ever meet. They are kind and funny and never afraid to tell the hard truths. They open their home every week for Bible studies (and quesadillas!) They have stepped into my life specifically and given generously in difficult situations. Anyone can go to them any time, anywhere and they will pray with you, give advice, laugh, or cry with you. They exhibit outstanding leadership on all levels.
