Christ-Centered Ministries (CCM) is proud to celebrate Pastor Troy Vaughn, a longtime advocate for human dignity and restoration, who was recently awarded The President’s Lifetime Achievement Volunteer Service Award. The honor recognizes decades of tireless service to individuals experiencing homelessness, addiction, and justice-system involvement — work that has shaped community programs across Los Angeles, including CCM’s Restoration Reentry Residence (RRR).
Pastor Troy’s journey from homelessness in Skid Row to becoming a leader and champion for those often overlooked embodies the mission of CCM: restoring hope through compassion, structure, and opportunity. His leadership continues to inspire our work as we fight against homelessness and support individuals rebuilding their lives.
This prestigious recognition, presented by The Los Angeles Tribune, highlights the transformative impact Pastor Troy has made through service, advocacy, and unwavering faith. From supporting veterans and families to empowering individuals returning from incarceration, Pastor Troy’s legacy echoes throughout every CCM program.
We honor his remarkable achievements and the example he sets for all who believe in second chances and community transformation.
