District Superintendent Deborah Smith presents the 2025 One Matters Award to the El Redentor congregation.

District Superintendent Deborah Smith was pleased to present the 2025 One Matters Award to the El Redentor congregation and pastor, Rev. Luz Campos. El Redentor.

Discipleship Ministries’ prestigious One Matters Award recognizes one congregation from each Annual Conference in the United States that has demonstrated significant revitalization in discipleship, marked by an increase in professions of faith and baptisms from zero to at least one in the previous years.

One Matters Award has a strong focus on making disciples because, by integrating into the church body, the individual may experience the personal transformation to potentially engage in the church’s mission for the transformation of the world. While most Discipleship Ministries Programs focus on existing members, OMA focus on new members. After all, ONE Matters.
