Tennessee Ministry Network
Network Affiliated Churches
A valued part of our network — churches we walk alongside, support, and celebrate as they grow.
You belong here
A Church We Walk Alongside
A Network Affiliated church is a full member of the Tennessee Ministry Network that is growing toward General Council affiliation.
When a church is ready in maturity, leadership, and finances, it can take the step to General Council affiliated status. We are with you.
“You are a vital part of what God is doing across Tennessee — and we are glad to walk this road with you.”
Our commitment to you
You’re Never On Your Own
“We exist to serve you” — it’s the heart behind this whole partnership. Here is some of what stands with you as you lead.
Fellow Laborers
We stand in this call with you. We are here to support you and we share the same goal you have for your church: a healthy, growing body reaching its community.
Counsel & Encouragement
Your Sectional Presbyter and Network leaders are here to meet and grow with you — to encourage, guide, and pray with you as you lead, no matter the season of ministry.
Strength & Security
Sound structure, a shared insurance program, and trusted counsel let you minister from a position of strength and security — so your focus can stay on your people.
Help Along the Way
Whenever a question comes up — a form, a decision, a difficult season — the Network office is ready. You’re never more than a call away from help.
A Share in the Mission
Your church is part of the worldwide home and foreign missionary work of the Assemblies of God — sending, giving, and going together.
Looking Ahead Together
The annual ministry review isn’t an audit — it’s a chance to step back with Network leaders, take stock, and set fresh goals for the ministry God has for your church in the year ahead.
