Nabhi Christian Ministries hosted a Special Task Ordination Ceremony to publicly honor 12 various styled leaders and clergy members.
Honorees were recognized for their tireless work and effective leadership towards transforming lives and strengthening communities through effective ministries that express Godly love and faith through actions to the unbelieving and unchurched. The Ceremony took place at Faith Lutheran Church on Lemington Avenue.
“I believe the ‘Call’ to ministry is impartial and unconditional and should meet the needs of people whether they are believers or not, churched or unchurched,” Frederick Buechner said. “The Call is where your great joy meets the world’s great need. It’s where your passion finds expression in service.”
“These servant leaders are great examples of just that. They don’t just have memberships and duties in their church homes. Their ministries extend far beyond the confines of the church walls, from the pollutions of the streets in which crime dwells, to the schools, from the courts, to the prisons, to reach, encourage, and equip, out of their devotion to God and their love for others. They are men and women of Competence, Conscience, Compassion and Commitment,” said Jacque Fielder, Spiritual Nurturer & Sr. Pastor of Nabhi Christian Ministries, best known for its community outreach and engagement work.
Ordinands will affirm and re-affirm their ordination vows. They were available to discuss their calls and designation for distinct assignments to specific ministry roles in detail with the public after the ceremony.
Among those leaders being honored were: Theresa A. Germany, Min. Karen Scott Miles, Min. Tamara Reddish-Allen, Alice Richardson, Dawn Renee Washington, Evangelist Linda B. Smith, Karen Fitch, Karl Graham, Kevin B. Wells, Kelvin Miller, Larry J. Fielder, Jr. and Aubrey Kirkland.
Soloists: Sonya Carter, Aubrey Kirkland, Barbara Perry and Evangelist Lind Smith.
Ordination Committee: Pastor Jacque Fielder of Nabhi Christian Ministries, Rev. James Brewer, Rev. Charles Harvey, Rev. Douglas Patton, Rev Gary Dudley and Agape Christian.
Ministry Affiliates: Sr. Pastor Stephen Niermann and Elder Eugene Burton (Faith Lutheran Church).
