The 2026 ordinands speak to who we are as a BUV family of churches. They are faithful, committed, and wonderfully diverse in background, age, and calling. Each has walked a long road of discernment, study, and formation to reach this moment. This moment reflects years of study, prayer, and service culminating in their readiness for ordained ministry. They come from different corners of our community, carrying different gifts, but share a common commitment to the Gospel and to serving God’s people. We’re pleased to celebrate them, grateful for their perseverance, and excited to see how they’ll shape our movement’s future.
