Warren S. Benson Distinguished Christian Educator Award
First awarded in 1991, the highest professional distinction given by the Society of Professors in Christian Education is the Warren S. Benson Distinguished Christian Educator Award. The Benson Award represents the acknowledgment, by the members and trustees of our Society, of an extraordinary and sustained contribution to the field and ministry of Christian Education.
Dr. Warren S. Benson
Dr. Warren S. Benson (August 23, 1929-February 15, 2002) was recognized as a professor, pastor, scholar, and author. He was a devoted member of the Evangelical Free Church in America, but his influence extended far beyond the parameters of his own tradition. His greatest legacy continues not in his publications, but in the lives of his many students.
