We are so grateful for a wonderful evening of celebration of a mighty representation of some of Hollywood’s great Christian professionals in all areas of entertainment. We want to remember the legacy that these people are leaving for the next generation, as they pass on the torch of integrity, quality work, Christ-like lives and Christian service. They have built a foundation of faith that must be carried on and taught to the generations to come.
