Ministry and Ordination
Ministry and Ordination Defined
Ministry in its purest form is servant hood. It is the work of the Lord as performed through His redeemed agents to do the works of Christ on this earth. According to Matthew 20:26,27:...but “Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. “
The work of the Lord in ministry is manifest in the office of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher, as well as through Missionaries, Counselors, etc. The Word of the Lord tells us to “GO into All the world and preach Good News” - therefore ministry may also be seen and performed in the work of helps, i.e. distributing tracts, witnessing, intercessory prayer, etc.
We recognize that all true ordination comes from God. The call of God, the conviction of the Holy Spirit and the testimony of Jesus Christ must be evidenced in the candidate’s life. Our place and position as established ordained ministers of God is to publicly endorse what God has ordained in the life and ministry of the candidate.
We desire to serve as the hand and the voice of the Lord to help those who aspire to do the work of the Lord in Christian ministry. We welcome inquiries from ministers who are interested in transferring their license or ordination to our oversight.
It is the sincere desire of this ministry to build lasting relationships that will ultimately establish Kingdom truth.
