We believe that God has caught us up in His great mission to see many churches planted across the world, and communities transformed by the love of Jesus Christ.
We are part of Newfrontiers, a network of church families with over 2,000 churches in more than 90 nations, spreading across every continent of the world.
There is a combination and interplay between spiritual oversight – apostolic ministry that is invited in – and the various charitable and legal frameworks in which our churches are based and operate. A tension therefore exists between the ‘spiritual/family’ and the ‘legal/formal’ aspects of how we work together. This document seeks to address aspects of both – to provide a backdrop to our relationships, and outline understandings and expectations so there is clarity before, during and after a church joins the New Ground family.
