Laura Ashley Kolbert - Ordination | Pastor John Eaton | Ordination Service | 4/13/2025

Today marks a powerful and sacred moment in the life of our church family, as we witness Laura Ashley Kolbert—one of our own—officially step into her calling as a Minister of the Word.

Through Scripture, reflection, and heartfelt commissioning, this service celebrates Laura Ashley’s years of faithful service, biblical training, and unwavering commitment to Christ and His Church. Drawing from Ephesians 4, 1 Samuel 16, and the pastoral charge in 2 Timothy 4, the message highlights how God chooses and equips leaders not based on appearance, but by the condition of their heart.

We honor Laura Ashley’s journey and her “yes” to God’s call—even through seasons of loss and service. Surrounded by her church family and husband Jacob, she is charged with preaching the Word, shepherding God’s people, and walking with integrity in all seasons.

Join us in prayer and celebration as we recognize the anointing of Reverend Laura Ashley Kolbert and the continued work of the Holy Spirit in and through her life.

“The harvest is great, but the workers are few…” (Matthew 9:37-38)
