Becoming a Servant Partners Site
We have three categories
that describe our relationships with local communities:
1) New Servant
Partners Site
This is a local community which Servant Partners staff and volunteers
have initiated.
2) Affiliated
Servant Partners Site
This is a local community which started on its own and then has come
under Servant Partners leadership for the purpose of achieving growth
and maturity.
3) US or
International Ministry Partner
This is a local community/ministry that has a local board of directors
or elders group that is guiding the spiritual and organizational development
of the ministry. It works with Servant Partners on specific goals
(defined and reviewed annually) related to developing new holistic
church planting movements while retaining local autonomy in terms
of leadership and accountability.
The following are
the different aspects of a working relationship. We are eager to discuss
each of these categories with interested groups to decide which category
is most appropriate for our working relationship and, then, what will
be our expectations for working together.
