HarvestNET Affiliated Churches and Ministries is also a family of related churches and ministries.
Although we believe churches should be self-governed, it is natural for healthy churches to want to be linked to other churches with shared vision. HarvestNET provides these links with a goal to strengthen each church and enhance its effectiveness in reaching its community.
Full Partnership in HarvestNet is primarily relational and is a place for pastors and churches to find accountability, council and encouragement to develop and grow.
Because we are committed to the one church in each region, we will function in a way that encourages each HarvestNET church to fully participate in what God is doing in their own regions.
Itinerant ministers and ministry organizations can also benefit by linking with HarvestNET. The leaders of these ministries can draw from the support of network relationships. The organization benefits by having other partners to assist in its mission. HarvestNet seeks to provide various support services to free these ministries to focus on their mission.
Associate Partnerships are for those already affiliated with a denomination or network
HarvestNet is supportive of the many other networks and denominations already in place. For this reason we offer an Associate Partnership to those churches and ministries already committed to a denomination but desiring to supplement that relationship by linking with HarvestNET. These “associates” receive the same benefits as others in the network but special care is given not to violate their commitment and accountability to those in authority over them in their denomination or network. Otherwise they function within the network just as those who are full partners and see HarvestNET as their primary affiliation.
