Ordination of Bob Jernigan

Most pastors are ordained early in their ministry some even before they start…Mine was a little different. I came into God’s ministry late in life and was appointed to my first Church at age 62. I started the ground work and followed the steps to ministry at age 59. I was appointed to and licensed to be a pastor at a United Methodist Church in Tennessee, I had to go to training at Martin Methodist College and to licensing school with the Methodist, but I did not have the required Master in Divinity to be ordain by the UMC , I was a locally appointed pastor. I came to St. Johns UMC in 2015 under same type appointment and licensing. Yesterday I was ordained for the first time after 12 years of serving two churches as their Pastor. I hope the Lord allows me to continue for many more years. This is a short video of that ceremony….Bob
