Benefits

1. Fellowship among ministers.

The power of unity should never be underestimated, and unity is fostered through ongoing and genuine fellowship between those of like precious faith. Through our fellowship we develop deeper acquaintances that build lasting friendships, share knowledge and gifts that encourage, strengthen and support one another, and experience a camaraderie that truly makes us family. Fellowship is a powerful weapon that emboldens the Body of Christ and, most especially, those called to the work of the ministry.

2. A covering for ministers and their ministries to provide credibility and accountability derived from being a part of a larger fellowship of ministries.

Every minister should have someone with experience in ministry and a good reputation that the minister may go to for advice and/or counsel. Whether it be a ministry question or if the minister finds himself or herself in contradiction to God’s Word, an avenue has been opened where the minister can confide, confess, repent and receive love and sound biblical advice without the threat of being unduly exposed.

3. Annual Convention and Regional Conferences

The Annual Convention serves as our yearly convocation designed for the purpose of focused ministry and training in key areas of ministry including pastoral development, church administration, and the ministry of helps. Regional conferences serve as exceptional opportunities for increased fellowship through a more intimate environment. Evening after-service receptions provide an excellent way to end the day through excellent one-on-one fellowship that strengthens our unity.
