New Ranks Announced in Celestial Church Sparks Discussion
The Celestial Church of Christ was abuzz last week following the announcement of new ranks for senior shepherds. While many welcomed the promotions, questions were raised regarding the exclusion of stalwart leaders like Baba Aladeseye and Afiz Kiki.
Church officials highlighted strict criteria for assessing performance. Metrics spanned productivity, leadership, spiritual guidance and overall growth contributions. Importantly, adherence to Church doctrine and rules featured heavily.
The selection process reflected new emphasis on recent achievements rather than tenure alone. This aims to continually reward improved service over time. Rankings also motivate members to higher service standards.
Naturally, ranking changes stirred discussion among the faithful. However, Church representatives urged unity and trust in leadership’s prudent process. Criteria focused on individual qualifications compared to established guidelines, not personal preferences.
Selecting the best shepherds for each role based on demonstrable excellence maintains the Church’s high standards. While debate arises from any shift, upholding principles that strengthen the faith guides decision-making.
As the congregation supports one another through this adjustment, may the Celestial Church of Christ continue advancing as a beacon of worship and fellowship. Working cooperatively under wise stewardship fortifies the kingdom of God for generations to come.
