The Rim:
Association: Entry Level
This is the entry level. Involvement includes
attendance to events and fellowship at luncheons. Observation of this Network can best be accomplished from this
level. The only
requirements for this level are confession of Jesus Christ as Savior
and Lord, agreement with the brief Statement of Faith listed above
and ministries joining the Network must be a
legitimate and recognized Ministry. Connection to the Body Network
is not exclusive, in other words, ministers can continue to have
membership in their various fellowships, denominations, and ministerial
groups. A $50.00 annual renewal fee is requested and financial
support when possible.
2.
The Spokes: Affiliate Network: Mid Level
This level is more actively involved in the
Resource and
Connecting between other Body Network Affiliates. This level
gives the opportunity to be part of something “Regional”. This level
offers Area-Wide support, insight, and involvement through growing
relationships. Greater
NETWORKING between churches takes place at this level. Regular prayer
and financial support to the Body Network is expected in this level. As in all the levels, connection to the Body Network is not
exclusive. This level emphasizes
accountability between ministries to walk in integrity together.
There's a
$75.00 annual renewal fee and we request monthly financial support
of any amount.
3.
The
Hub:
Accountability: Center Level
This level provides
apostolic covering and personal accountability. For too long the
word;
“accountability”
in some ministerial
organizations had a negative connotation of punishment and control,
but a scriptural approach is covering of support and positive preventive maintenance
through transparent relationships. This level can also
provide mentoring to those ministers who desire encouragement, assistance and
guidance through the development of their ministry, This level raises the bar of integrity and
also provides help to solve disputes between ministers, and if
desired, to support the ministers when disputes occur internally
from their own staff and congregations. Obviously those in the hub
level are also in the SPOKES level. There's a
$100.00 annual renewal fee and monthly financial support of any
amount is requested.
_______________________________________________________________
NOTE: Covering as it
relates to Ordination of ministers..
Relationship is KEY in recognition of ordination…So
it is recommended that those seeking ordination first look to a
local pastor, apostolic (ministry) that can ‘father” them
into step by step development. For those who have no current connection with a “fathering”
ministry, and still desire ordination, Rick & Liz Kendall, can
provide ministerial ordination through Victory Ministries (their ministry group).
We have not opted to
provide ordination through the Body Network as an organization… because
the Body Network’s role is NOT to become an exclusive ministerial
denomination or organization, but simply an apostolic network that
connects ministry streams together.
