On March 30, 2025, Shandong CC&TSPM held an ordination ceremony at Mu’en Church in Linqu County, Weifang City. Six fellow workers were ordained as pastors and elders.

Rev. Shi Lexin, president of Weifang CC, officiated the ordination worship service. Rev. Xia Quansheng, director of Linqu County TSPM, led the prayer. Rev. Liu Yongqing, director of Hanting District TSPM, Elder Han Yuping director of Anqiu TSPM, and Elder Dong Yutao, director of  Mu’en Church in Linqu County, read the Scripture respectively.

Citing 1 Peter 5:1-2, Rev. Huang Fengxiang, academic dean of Shandong Theological Seminary delivered a sermon titled “Pass Down the Mission, and Exemplify the Shepherd’s Role”. The message encouraged the ordinands to take up the ministerial duty to shepherd the flock, to exemplify the shepherd’s role as the role model for the congregation, and to receive the God-given gift as a minister in the abundance of Christ.
