The Liaoning Provincial CC&TSPM hosted a collective ordination ceremony for 29 pastors and 31 elders.
Held last Friday in Panshi (or Rock) Church which is located in the Qipanshan scenic area of Shenyang, this was the first centralized and unified large-scale ordination ceremony in this province since the outbreak of COVID-19.
Rev. Hao Zhiqiang, editor-in-chief of Tianfeng, a magazine covering the Protestant Churches in China by CCC&TSPM, gave a sermon titled One Lord and Hundred Kinds of Disciples. Later, the ceremony was officiated by Elder Shi Aijun, chairman of the Liaoning CC&TSPM (Christian Council & Three-Self Patriotic Movement) and president of Northeast China Theological Seminary.
In addition to pastors from churches at the municipal level, some of the ordained clergies come from grass-roots ones in towns and villages. They all have served in churches or carried out pastoral care for years, and have received several years of studies and advanced education in the seminary, especially the closed intensive training before ordination.
Finally, all the pastors sang a hymn from the Chinese New Hymnal with the title Learn to be a Good Shepherd.

2021年7月9日上午，辽宁省基督教三自爱国运动委员会和辽宁省基督教协会举行了2021年集体按立圣职典礼。
这是自疫情以来第一次全省集中、统一的大型集体按立圣事，在位于沈阳棋盘山风景区的辽宁省两会直属基督教磐石堂举行。
中国基督教两会《天风》杂志主编蒿志强牧师在按立圣礼前，以《一位主 百样徒》为题，为主证道。
按立典礼由辽宁省三自爱国运动委员会主席、东北神学院院长史爱军长老主礼。
此次按立了29位牧师、31位长老。除了各市一级的教会传道人外，更有部分来自于乡镇、农村最基层的传道人。他们经过了多年的在各教堂努力工作、牧会和服侍的锤炼，在神学院经过了几年的学习深造，特别是在按立前进行了封闭式的集中培训，按照程序经过了考核，成为了合乎神心意传道人
最后全体牧长集体高颂新编赞美诗《学做好牧人歌》。
