BUV Ordination Service – Congratulations Sally

Published on October 23, 2024

This Saturday the 26th of October at 11am, family, friends and those from our wider Baptist network will gather to take part in an Ordination service for those who have completed their time of study and preparation at the Baptist Union of Victoria. This includes NewHope’s own Sally Agostino.

Ordination is an action of God, together with the whole church, which affirms the gifts, calling and faithful service of men and women who desire to serve as pastoral leaders committed to the ministry of the Gospel.

Saturday’s service will be a special time of testimony, prayer, vows and commissioning. A celebration of hard work and dedication. You can meet the Ordinands and hear Sally’s testimony on the BUV website HERE.

Congratulations, Sally! We are proud of you and grateful for your wise, humble and faithful leadership among us. May God continue to bless and empower your ministry.
