About Our Ordination Program


We uphold that Ordination is a special calling upon an individual by God. Once the individual is aware of this high calling, it is foundationally important to pursue Biblical education to further equip the individual with the applicable Biblical tools to fully perform the ministerial calling God has placed upon them.


"Ordination should be applied as a personal, special
commitment between God and the individual. 
 It is truly one of the most high callings."
