The event consisted of two parts: a thanksgiving worship service in the first part, followed by the awards ceremony in the second part. During the second part, Park Myunggyun, Vice Governor for Administrative Affairs of Gyeongsangnam-do, and Jang Geumyong, Acting Mayor of Changwon Special City, delivered congratulatory remarks.

The judging committee commented, "This year's nominations were filled with so many moving stories that our hearts were touched throughout the review," adding, "It is those who have quietly fulfilled their calling in unseen places who have supported the local Christian culture."

This year's awardees were: ▲Pastoral Ministry - Pastor Lee Paul; ▲Culture and Arts - Artist Lee Junglyeol; ▲Social Service - Mrs. Kim Jongja (Milal Church); ▲Missions - Pastor Park Jeonggon (Geoje Gohyeon Church).

Koo Jacheon, Director of the Gyeongnam Christian Cultural Center, stated, "The wide road is easy, but the narrow road is rough and difficult. Those who are being honored today, as well as everyone gathered here, have walked the narrow road. The reason is that they have chosen to carefully follow in the footsteps left by Jesus."

After the ceremony, a group commemorative photo was taken with the board members and awardees, followed by congratulatory messages from family members and church congregants.

An event official remarked, "The service of the awardees is the driving force that sustains Christian culture in Gyeongnam. We will continue to work even harder to promote the spread of local Christian culture in the future."
