Ordination Night

Brother and Mrs. Jonathan Painter

 We held our first ever ordination service this past Saturday night. We presented Jonathan Painter as a candidate before our Ordination Council and Church congregation. Our Council listened to Brother Jonathan Painter answer a few questions and then give his testimony and call to preach. The Council made a motion to recommend Brother Painter for Ordination to the Gospel Ministry. Brother Jager made the motion and it was then seconded by Brother Miller. The vote was unanimous by both the Council and the Congregation.

We then had all the Council Members all lay hands on him and pray for him. He was then presented his certificate and of course one of the tools of our trade... a new King James Bible. I then preached the charge of "Seven Important Three's for Every Gospel Preacher."
