I for one think thats its a piece of paper.  If you want to perform marriages and etc States require you be ordained If you want to visit most hospitals and etc they want to see that small card So thats why I do it. 

But the only requirement I have that you be God called. If God called you thats all I need to know.  I wont make you read a 3 page booklet or I wont take you through steps seriouly I dont know where they get the steps at its not bibical lol

Pictured Below are Pics of the 1st ones I ordained I've done over 30 since then but they were my 1st

Also Pics of my ministry through the Years Radio Days etc just some pics I found while going through some old disks

I do believe in deacons but you will have to get your church to ordain you as that but I can ordain you online the main fields THAT MUST BE ENTERED are Name Full Name (It goes on the certifacate)  I need your address since I'm doing this online I need a address to send it to If not an address an email (I dont like giving out my home address online either) And I will send you an email with the info needed so that you can print it out yourself

What will be on the certifacate or email message will be

Your Name

Date Ordained

By who which will be me Pastor Billy Higdon

And the name of the church New Hope Community Chapel

I am Holiness by background but pretty much non-demonzaional because I feel like in all faiths of christianity there are good and bad so baptist pentecostal holiness etc It doesnt matter If you are called of God and want to be ordained fill out this form and it wont cost you nothing in order words BECOME ORDAINED ONLINE FOR FREE

It has been a few years the picture was recent but the Ordainment took place September 17th 2003 At the 1st church I pastored The Opened Door Holiness Church

God told me to have a Benefit for the Crusade For Children we raised over 500 forgot the exact amount but we sent it in to them But one night these 2 and 1 other man wanted to be Ordained so I done during service

Tabitha Higdon (my wife) Yep I was fortuned enough to be the one who ordained and my 1st one at that

Ocie Duvall She has went to church with us alot through the years I grew up going to the same churches she did my wife didnt though she was raised Baptist which is fine but our churches believes in the tongues and etc which is hard for a new comer to get used to my wife did though she can out shout the best of em at times her dad didnt though the 1st time he went to my church he was scared to death lol  But Ocie and her husband Arville needs some prayers right now that are strungling with some things that only God can handle so keep them in your prayers

Sorry for the sideways pic it 50megs wont let me redo it I might do it with another program later though lol  But that was took by my wife when we got back from our Honeymoon back in 2001
