About the Divine Servant Award
Located on Wisconsin Lutheran College's Campus Quad, the Divine Servant sculpture by Max Greiner Jr. of Jesus washing the feet of Peter serves as a daily reminder of the college’s mission and purpose since its founding. WLC exists to prepare Christian servant leaders for the world.
Wisconsin Lutheran College established the Divine Servant Award in 2017 as an opportunity to honor an individual who exemplifies qualities of Christian servant leadership and has exhibited Christian values throughout his or her life of service. We seek to amplify our mission of preparing Christian servant leaders who will influence and change our world.
This honor is intended to be bestowed upon a high-profile individual, and the annual Divine Servant Award Celebration event will serve as an awareness and fundraising opportunity for Wisconsin Lutheran College. Past awardees have included:
- President George W. Bush, 2017
- Tony Dungy, 2018
- David Green, 2019
- Tim Tebow, 2021
- Kathie Lee Gifford, 2022
We are privileged to recognize Kurt and Brenda Warner as our featured speakers and recipients of the 2023 Divine Servant Award.
