ADVANTAGES IN BELONGING TO A MOVEMENT OF CHURCHES

The following points were adapted from New Life Churches New Zealand:

ADVANTAGES IN BELONGING TO A MOVEMENT OF CHURCHES

# CO-OPERATION - working together with a national movement is of great advantage.

# COMPANIONSHIP - comradeship that is fostered keeps Pastors from isolation and independance.

# BEING PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER - this brings a sense of security for people in a local church.

# EXCHANGE OF MINISTRY - interaction creates wealth through access to a variety of gifts and experience.

# RESOURCES - distribution of a range of resources – book reviews, tapes, reccomendations etc.

# BALANCE AND OBJECTIVITY - by sharing with peers, balance comes through seeing different viewpoints.

# INTER-DEPENDENCE - inter-dependence is important, a much more mature state than independance.

# SYNERGY - by exchanging ideas and concepts, the corporate output becomes much more than the input.

# ENABLES LARGER PROJECTS - Churches with a common objective can join with others to achieve greater results.

# ACCOUNTABILITY - This brings responsibility and safety for leaders and people in a local church.

# PROTECTION FOR THE LOCAL CHURCH - As families need fathers for counsel, so does a church.

# A WORKABLE NATIONAL VEHICLE - it is easier to form relationships and work practically in a family of churches.
