Ordination

Pastor Earl Dingus was ordained on June 13, 1954 at the Sinking Creek Baptist Church in Johnson City, Tennessee.  It is on the registry of churches in Nashville, TN as having been established in 1773, prior to the Declaration of Independence, and is one of  the oldest churches in the state.  Earl fondly remembers his ordination and lovingly embraces those memories of dear Southern folks who encouraged him to follow His Lord and Savior in the ministry.
