Membership Inquiry

We exist to equip ministries to transform lives from suffering to flourishing through the gospel. Our vision is to advance the influent and impact of gospel-centered ministries in order to alleviate poverty, eradicate homelessness, overcome addiction, reduce mental health challenges, and empower life transformation.

Membership is open to Christian ministries who serve those seeking to help others move from crisis to flourishing. Network ministries are registered 501(c)3 non-profits with a physical location and a board of directors. We ask each member to annually affirm our statement of faith and code of ethics.
