Ordination needn’t be a mystery, but it should not be undertaken thoughtlessly. This six—page resource, originally a three—part series in Christian Standard, explores ordination with an eye toward helping individuals, churches, and God’s kingdom.

• J. Michael Shannon makes a case for why ordination is practical and sensible for individuals desiring a lifetime of service in the Lord`s church.
• Paige Mathews considers a process for assessing the person who wants to be ordained.
• And Tom Lawson challenges ordaining congregations to consider their responsibility for the lifetimes of those they ordain.

This download is ideal for churches that are considering ordaining a ministry candidate.
