Celebrating our Successful 2021 Ordination Candidates

August 23, 2021

On August 9-11, our Examining Council met for interviews with 12 candidates for ordination in our CBAC churches. We are pleased to announce that all 12 candidates have been successfully recommended for ordination!

Ordination services are expected to take place this fall, and we’re excited to celebrate with our congregations as they ordain these leaders. We will update this page with the dates and locations of the ordination services for each candidate.
