At a very proud and joyful Centennial Christian Church, Rev. Rhonda Aldridge was ordained into Christian ministry on August 30th. 

This comes after her earning of a Master of Divinity degree from Eden Theological Seminary and working through the ordination process with the Commission on the Order of Ministry.

Among the program participants were Regional Minister Team member Rev. Dr. Penny Ross-Corona, host pastor Rev. Derrick Perkins, and Rev. Dr. Dietra Wise Baker, pastor of Liberation Christian Church, who delivered an inspired and inspiring sermon entitled "Mount Up!" based on Isaiah 40:21-31.

Many other local ministerial colleagues were present, as were Rhonda's extended family from out of town. She was very grateful for the support of everyone!
