Summer is a time of transition for many officially going into the ministry – local pastors are becoming licensed later this month and others will mark the culmination of their journey with ordination. This will be the first class of ordinands who were interviewed via Zoom and will have their official ceremony changed to comply with social distancing guidelines. This is also the first time that the licensing school pivoted to all online. Regardless of the changes and challenges, these ordinands and incoming pastors continue to build community and forming connections digitally – and are eager to serve.
