OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:

We are looking to Spotlight Christ-centered Events, Projects, and Programs that are making a verifiable difference in the lives of others.

The Leader’s Oil Ministry Excellence Awards™ knows that a lot of ministries are doing award-winning work for Christ, but it is almost NEVER recognized. That changes NOW!

A Multi-Episode TV Award Show

In this Multi-Episode TV Award Show format, we are looking for ministry events and projects that are making a verifiable impact for Christ.

You will not walk away as the Grand Honors Award Recipient SIMPLY because your church is larger. We are specifically looking for Christ-centered events, projects, and programs that are making a difference in the lives of others.

If you had an event or another type of ministry project, and you have video and photos of this event, then you may be our next Ministry Excellence Awards Winner.

Add AWARD-WINNING Ministry To Your Resume

We don’t serve Christ for awards, but every year, Pastors and Ministry Leaders burn out and even close down, while grappling with discouragement and feeling underappreciated. 1 Timothy 5:17 says, the ministry leaders who rule well are worthy of DOUBLE HONOR.

There Will Be:

5 Honorable Mentions

10 Nominees

3 Award Recipient Winners

A National Platform Spotlighting Christ-centered Events, Projects, and Programs (1 Tim. 5:17).

Judges

All Judges are Ministry Leaders from different geographic locations. They will follow a specific judging rubric to pray and independently score each Event and Ministry Project.

Participating Ministries

Judges score based on the details of the submitted event/project. You cannot win simply because your church is larger.
