If you are a Christian seeking ordination Credentials  and you want to add "something more" to your counseling practice, or you are just an active Christian needing documentation to reach out to needy people... you have come to the right place! TCOLW is here to issue you Ordination Credentials to help you in Christian Ministry today...     My name is John E. Miller, I am the Pastor of The Church Of Living Water.The Church [and we truly are a church, we hold 2 church services weekly] exists solely to advance the Kingdom of God. It advances the kingdom of God by empowering the believer in Jesus Christ, we do this by providing a free 17 lesson discipleship course that qualifies the student for Ordination credentials as an Independent Minister. These credentials allow the believer to perform all sacred duties within his own ministry, mainly baptism, the Lord's Supper, and marriage ceremonies. We are admonished in 2 Timothy 2v15 "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." This is why we require that all who desire to have Ordination Credentials take our Discipleship Course. Those that receive Ordination Credentials from us can truthfully say that they were officially schooled by an online Seminary and not just given ordination without proper examination as most online Ordination Ministries do.  If your desire is to just have a piece of paper proving that you are ordained it would be best if you went somewhere else.  We want to issue ordination credentials to only those that plan to "go into all the world and preach the gospel," and are willing to show themselves approved as faithful workmen of Jesus Christ. Our Mission The only way a person can be ordained by a traditional Church is by going to a seminary that they recognize as teaching the doctrine with which they agree. This takes years to finish and is very costly, not even to mention the fact that you may not even agree with the doctrine they teach. We recognize the fact that there are many believers that are well qualified to preach the gospel as ordained ministers. The secular community puts much stock in credentials and believes ordination is necessary to be an "OFFICIAL" minister. We provide ordination credentials and register the baptized, born again believer to satisfy that demand of the secular world.

		Biblical foundations for our beliefs : The biblical foundations for our beliefs that all believers are already appointed and ordained by God are found in the following verses: Mark 16v15 Jesus commanding the disciples to: "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." All believers are Jesus Christ’s disciples 2 Timothy 4v2 The Apostle Paul instructs Timothy: "Be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction." All believers are instructed by the Lord to be prepared to correct, rebuke, and encourage. 2 Timothy 4v5 "But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry." All believers are instructed by the Lord to carry His message to the world, discharging his duties of his ministries. 1 Peter 2v9 We are a chosen Priesthood to declare the praises of God! “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.” All believers are a chosen people, a priesthood that are to take the gospel to the world. We believe that all believers are ordained at the time they accept Jesus Christ as thier Savior we offer certification of that ordination. With all this in mind, The Church Of Living Water feels it is an honor, indeed, a sacred duty to legally issue ordination crdentials to any member in good standing who decides to answer Christ's call into His ministry.   How to receive Ordination Credentials: To receive Ordination Credentials you must take our 17 lesson discipleship course.
