Honoring Excellence in Ministry
Since 1984, MMCA has been built on the dedication, leadership, and service of individuals who believe in using media, communications, and technology to advance the Gospel.
Throughout our history, certain individuals have gone above and beyond, not only excelling in their own ministries but also investing in others, strengthening our association, and helping shape the future of ministry communications.
Through Lifetime Membership and the John Grable Award, MMCA recognizes individuals whose contributions deserve special acknowledgment.
We invite our members to help us celebrate those who have made a difference by nominating deserving individuals for these distinguished honors.
Lifetime Membership
Honoring a Legacy of Leadership, Service, and Mentorship
Lifetime Membership is one of MMCA's highest honors, recognizing individuals whose exceptional leadership, dedicated service, and commitment to others have made a lasting impact on our association.
Recipients have demonstrated a passion for advancing media ministry, investing in fellow ministry professionals, and using their experience and influence to further the ministry. More than recognition for years of service, Lifetime Membership celebrates those whose contributions have strengthened MMCA and helped shape the ministries and leaders who follow in their footsteps.
The John Grable Lifetime Achievement Award
Recognizing Pioneering Excellence in Media Ministry
Named in honor of John Grable, a pioneer whose work in professional broadcasting and church media helped establish a higher standard for ministry production, this award celebrates individuals who have made an extraordinary impact on the advancement of media ministry.
Through his work at First Baptist Dallas and in television production, Grable demonstrated how professional excellence and innovative thinking could transform the way churches communicate the Gospel. His influence helped ministries around the world grow in their capabilities and effectiveness.
The John Grable Award recognizes individuals who carry forward that spirit of innovation, leadership, and excellence, challenging others to think bigger, achieve more, and continually raise the standard of media ministry.
