Elder Ordination in Miami Strengthens Local Leadership

Recently the Miami Seventh‑day Adventist Church in Oklahoma celebrated a joyful and spiritually significant moment as Harvey Kornegay ordained Elder Darin Wadkins for local church leadership. The service was reverent, heartfelt, and filled with a sense of mission as members gathered to affirm God’s calling on Darin’s life.

The ordination prayer — offered with hands laid on Darin’s shoulders — symbolized the church’s commitment to support, encourage, and stand beside him as he steps into this sacred responsibility. Moments like these remind us that God continues to raise up dedicated leaders who serve with humility, compassion, and faithfulness.

This ordination is another sign of the spiritual growth happening across our conference. Every new elder strengthens a congregation’s ability to minister, disciple, and reach its community for Christ.
