Ordination


You Can Now Become a Legally Ordained Minister… Online.

Home of “Distant Education” Bible Studies

Greetings brothers and sisters in the Lord Christ Jesus!

Our Lord has blessed us with a glorious task to serve Him.

Pacific Northwestern now invites you to take advantage of this “new” home study curriculum that will have you up and in the world preaching the wonderful Gospel in a very short while.

The course program is referred to as that of “Equipping the Saints.” No other study format has been designed quite like this “new” Bible study program. Spirit-filled and created to God’s glory, this study course has been crafted to prepare the student to effectively take the Gospel into “all the world” as an Ordained Minister, Pastor, or Evangelist.

This easy-to-understand Bible curriculum will enrich, encourage, and empower the student by providing the needed confidence to share God’s plan throughout their travels.

Cost-effective and a great value to those starting out in ministry work. The inclusion of ministry marketing materials will certainly provide a strong platform, right from the gate.

Hearing, listening, and learning God’s Word will be of tremendous blessing to each student and their ministry.

May this Bible study program be a blessing to you and your God-given calling.

Peace be with you,

Tony Marino
Senior Pastor/Evangelist

Our Mission
 
We acknowledge and receive our responsiblity to God as that of honor and commitment. There is no greater accolade. According to His Word, “We should all speak the same thing.” (1 Corinthians 1:10). We are “Born Again”, Spirit-filled, Full Gospel Evangelists and Pastors. We are to tell people about the soon-coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ, our “Born Again” experience and “Divine Healing.” We are to tell people that Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross for our sins, arose, and is alive today. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)

God speaks, in the last days He said, ” I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh” (Acts 2:17). “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond or free, there is neither male nor female: for ye all are one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:26-28)

From a sincere, faith-based position, we should hear, but not listen to any false teachings, place man-made rituals above God’s sovereignty, or succumb to any lies manifested before man as brought on by Satan. Apostle Paul teaches, “But there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:7-8)

As Jesus Christ commnded in Luke 10:2-20, “…the field is ready for harvest and the labourers are few…”. (Make time to read and study this Scriptural passage.) There is much to be done in the world today, more than ever before. We “can” make a difference for Christ. We have God’s blessing to do so.

Our Philosophy
 
Our true heart is that of love and reverence to one almighty, living God. We acknowledge and accept the complete “God-head.” God, the father, Jesus Christ, the son, and the Holy Spirit that lives and reigns within us. We believe in God’s infallible Word, the Holy Bible. We firmly accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal Savior. We believe that Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself for the sins of all the world. We believe that through Jesus Christ, we now by faith are saved by God’s perfect grace and mercy as well as enjoy a direct, personal relationship with God the father. We believe that Jesus Christ intercedes for the forgiveness of our sins and has given us His Holy Spirit to indwell within us today and forever. “…And surely I will be with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)

Jesus Christ tells us, “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” (Mark 16:15-18)

Apostle Paul speaks by authority of the Holy Spirit, It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11-13)

In strict compliance and under the authority, obedience, and guidance of God’s inspired Word, the Holy Bible, our calling is to “equip the saints” by providing a learning curriculum of sound biblical doctrine. We expect to encourage, enrich, and empower each student by the gifts of the Holy Spirit; any man or woman that has been called by our Lord to minister, preach, or evangelize in the name of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, through our biblical, self-paced, home study course, we will equip each individual who successfully completes the course with the ordainment education, credentials and deserved recognition to faithfully and confidently follow the command of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15)
