join horizon network

apply

It’s true - we will ask you to “apply” to be a part of the Horizon Network. Hear us out... We imagine that many of you came to the Alliance because of a shared sense of ministry and purpose in Christ. We agree; and this shared sense of purpose is what brought us to the Alliance as well! We’ve found that there is great power in taking the time to write these things down.

If you take a look at our application this is really all we’re asking for you to do - write down and share with us about your ministry and purpose and how these things align with the Horizon Network. As you can see there are many fantastic Alliance Networks to join and each one has a unique purpose and place within the Alliance. We’re excited about joining with other Alliance churches around a particular vision, priorities, and values, and we’d love to hear if your purpose aligns with the Horizon Network.

CHURCH

QUESTION #1

As you reflect on the Network’s guiding scriptures and read through the Network’s mission and vision - what connects you and your church? Why do you want to be a part of this Network?

QUESTION #2

Describe how your church currently embodies your own mission and vision. (Don’t just tell us what it is, tell us what it looks like these days.)

QUESTION #3

What will your church and your congregation hope to contribute to the network? (Think about personnel, physical, financial, ministry, or other assets.)

QUESTION #4

Galatians says that we each carry our own load and yet bear one another’s burdens (6:2, 5). Tell us about the load(s) your church is currently carrying, and tell us about the burden(s) your church has that we might carry together.

QUESTION #5

As a Network, we plan to meet regularly. Tell us about your Lead pastor who will be representing your church at these Network board meetings and what they will bring to our meetings – strengths, weaknesses, passions, etc. (feel free to include: spiritual gifts, APEST, Strengthsfinder, 16Personalities, Enneagram, or other helpful information).
