"I have been active for several years with my local church here in Newcomerstown, after being Sunday school teacher, Youth Director and Youth Minister, and eventually, the Sunday school Superintendent. I now help maintain the church’s Facebook page as a ministry outreach, as I have been called to minister elsewhere.
I hold a Council level Minister's License with Churches of Christ in Christian Union. The church headquarters with CCCU and Ohio Christian University have reviewed copies of my student transcript and certificates with CLI, and they fully recognize and accept the classes I have taken, and the credit hours I have earned. I have the option of also going through their Ordination Program, with my credit hours also being accepted. I am also licensed through the State of Ohio.
For the past 5 years, I have been working for Journey’s End Ministries, which is a ministry outreach food pantry organization, and as Pastor with Wolf-Salem Church also in Newcomerstown.
The training and education I have received with CLI has prepared me for the responsibility of teaching and preaching the Word, and to help guide those in the church who seek the divine outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and to help make disciples, as we have been instructed to do by the words of Jesus."
Matthew became ordained a Commissioned Minister with CLA in 2015.

"I grew up in a semi-religious family but it was never a priority. Always a strong believer in GOD, but he was never in the forefront of my life. That changed around a couple years ago. I come to realize that my public service was a stepping stone to the encounters I had as a child. It was God teaching and preparing me for what I feel is His next plan for me and that is to serve our Lord in the Ministry. I feel truly blessed for every day for the gifts that He has given me and I humbly pray that my works will continue to glorify His word and His holy name.
Through Christian Leaders Institute, I have completed just another small step in my walk with Christ. Completing the Deacon Minister Ordination opened another avenue where I completed the Ordained Commissioned Minister course. The accomplishment of completing the course of study brings forth an increase of humbleness. I can only pray that the Lord finds me worthy and continue to guide me through my day to day walk in Christ. I have already witnessed how His calling in my life has changed me. The way I approach each day, the way I speak to each and everyone I meet and most important the way in which I live my life. As Colossians 4:6 reads, " Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
Patrick Williams is ordained as a Commissioned Minister with CLI in 2018!
