Maranatha
Ministerial Fellowship, In't exists to:
Faciliate
Meaningful Relationships among Christian ministers of
like and precious faith. Through fellowship, prayer, and other activities, we
provide a sense of identification, mutual-support, and accountability.
Equip
and Enable Ministers in their personal spiritual growth
and in the development of their professional ministerial skills. We provide
continuing education and further training through conferences, seminars, literature,
tapes, and other appropriate means.
Provide
Credentials for those candidates with a clear and recognizable
calling to Christian ministry. Licensing and ordination enable ministers to
perform functions such as marriage, burying the dead, administration and oversight
of all church activities and functions.
Spread
the Gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism, church
planting, leadership development, discipleship, and Biblical teaching and training
for the work of the ministry.
Promote
Unity, Peace, and Brotherhood among all of the various
expressions of the Body of Christ. We respect and protect the autonomy of local
churches and ministries within the fellowship. Affiliation with this organization
is voluntary and does not constitute governmental control of the fellowship
over the local churches or ministries.
Levels
and Benefits:
Affiliation.
An affiliate member is one who views MMFI as their primary source of credentials,
fellowship, and accountability. The annual fee entitles them to additional benefits
of affiliation, including a discount on the annual conference, a periodic "seedbag"
of books, tapes, and other timely materials, as well as support and counsel
of the fellowship. Affiliate members support the goals, spirit, and statement
of faith of the fellowship.
Fellowship.
A member in fellowship is one who desires to participate in the activities of
MMFI to promote unity in the Body of Christ. A member in fellowship would support
the general purpose of MMFI but would not be required to totally adhere to our
statement of faith and may or may not hold credentials with another organization.
Networking
churches and Christian leaders with apostolic perspectives and prophetic insight
for the encouragement of upward call of God in Jesus Christ.
