What is an Ordained Minister?
In Biblical terms as well as in general, the word “ordain” is derived from the Greek word “diatassō” which means to “appoint”. As such, ordination is the acknowledgement by a community of believers that a person has been called to ministry. And of course, it is accompanied by their commission to advance the Kingdom of God. Pastor and Dr. Samantha Brown acts as a servant to humanity, not just in Tampa, FL, but to everyone, everywhere on behalf of God.
