The Ordination to the Office of Presbyter is a sacred and solemn act within the Body of Christ. It is the formal recognition and commissioning of a servant of God who is called to shepherd the flock, preach the Gospel, administer the sacraments, and provide spiritual care and leadership to the Church.

At this service, Reverend Deacon Mathew Daniel will be Ordained as a Presbyter, affirming his divine calling and the Church’s confidence in his spiritual maturity, doctrinal soundness, and readiness to serve God’s people faithfully.

Through prayer, the laying on of hands, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the Church will set apart Reverend Mathew Daniel for this higher office of pastoral ministry. This moment marks a transition from diaconal service to full presbyteral responsibilities, including:

• • • • Preaching and teaching the Word of God
      • Administering the Sacraments (Holy Communion & Baptism)
      • Offering pastoral counseling and spiritual oversight
      • Leading worship and prayer
      • Equipping the saints for ministry and mission

This ordination is not only a personal milestone but also a joyous celebration for the entire Church, as we welcome a faithful shepherd into a deeper level of kingdom service.

“…Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them… eager to serve.” — 1 Peter 5:2
