Daryl's Ordination

Daryl sought to be ordained by a panel of pastors before we leave for the mission field.  This process is quite consuming and very labor intensive.  Daryl studied, read, and prayed a lot before sitting before a panel of eight men who asked him Biblical questions.  At the end of the questioning, we were dismissed to the hallway while they deliberated.  When we came back into the room, they informed us of their decision to ordain Daryl as a pastor.

The following Wednesday, was Daryl's ordination ceremony.  John Clagett gave a charge to the church and Rob Decker gave a charge to Daryl using 2 Timothy 2:3-4.  The men on the panel prayed over Daryl and encouraged him as he continues the process to full time missions.

Those on the panel include several pastors from our church: Rob Decker, Lead Pastor, Shean Phillips, Young Adults Pastor, Jared Hoots, High School Youth Pastor, Tim Gerber, Children's Pastor, and Dick Lockheart, Care Ministries Director.  Other panel members include John Clagett, former pastor and Bible professor, Chris Byrne, Senior Pastor of New Friendship Baptist, and Scott Wilkinson, Senior Pastor of Summer Oaks Presbyterian.
