"Help Us Honor the Women

Who Are Making a Difference."

Dear Friend,

Every congregation, ministry, and community is blessed by women who faithfully answer God's call. Some lead. Some teach. Some pray. Some advocate. Some serve behind the scenes. Some inspire through worship and the arts. Others have spent decades faithfully building God's Kingdom through their commitment and sacrifice.

Too often these women serve quietly, without recognition, yet their impact is immeasurable.

As part of our recognition of Women's History month, Preach Sista! is excited to recognize women whose lives and ministries reflect faithful service, spiritual leadership, and Kingdom impact at our 2027 Celebrating Our Sisters event.

We invite churches, organizations, and individuals to nominate a woman who has made a difference in the lives of others through her ministry, leadership, service, or witness.

The awards include:

The Deborah Award: For Excellence in Leadership and Courageous Service

The Priscilla Award: For Excellence in Teaching and Spiritual Formation

The Phoebe Award: For Excellence in Servant Leadership and Ministry Support

The Esther Award: For Excellence in Advocacy, Justice, and Public Witness

The Anna Award: For Excellence in Prayer, Spiritual Encouragement, and Faithfulness

The Sarah Award: For Longevity in Faithful Service and Enduring Legacy

The Miriam Award: For Excellence in Worship, Music, Dance, and Creative Arts Ministry

We believe God calls women to many expressions of ministry, and we want to celebrate those who are faithfully living their purpose and helping others do the same.

Please take a few moments to nominate a woman whose life and ministry deserve recognition. Whether she serves from a pulpit, a classroom, a prayer room, a choir stand, a community organization, or behind the scenes, her faithfulness matters.

Together, let us honor the women who have poured into others, strengthened our communities, and helped advance God's work in the world.

The awards will be presented at our Celebrating Our Sisters event on March 12, 2027

Men and women are invited to the event and attire is formal.

The event will be held at the Mahali, 2780 Peck Street, Muskegon Heights, Michigan from 6pm and to 8pm.

This is a ticketed event $20 per person; discounted price for groups of five or more.

The program includes a time of praise and worship, an encouraging message, and the presentation of awards. A dessert bar and mocktails concludes the program providing a time for attendees to congratulate the recipients.

Thank you for helping us celebrate women who are living their purpose and reminding others that there is more in them.

Nomination Deadline: February 13, 2027   Use the nomination form below.

With gratitude,

Rev. Michelle Loyd-Paige
