The life-changing impact of this ministry thrives because of the foundation laid by our visionary founders, Bob and Felice Augsburg and Chuck (“Buddy”) and Gloria Lay. The two ministries that formed what today is Hope Media Group were born from their unwavering vision, zeal, and even personal sacrifice. They demonstrated tremendous faith in God and a belief that Christian music is not only transformative, but that using media in innovative ways was and is essential to reaching as many people as possible to have life transforming experiences with God.
Recipients of Hope Media Group’s FOUNDERS AWARD reflect the spirits of these pioneers. Passion for our mission, servant-hearted, and forward thinking anchored in their own Christian faith. They work diligently and creatively to see the impact of the ministry get stronger. They love our platforms and weave them into their own daily lives. They embrace what is possible so that through media, more people will…Love Jesus, Serve Others, and Spread Hope.
