Membership

MARANATHA MINISTERIAL
FELLOWSHIP, INTERNATIONAL exists to:

Faciliate Meaningful Relationships among Christian ministers of like and precious faith. Through fellowship, prayer, and other activities, we provide a sense of identification, mutual-support, and accountability.

Equip and Enable Ministers in their personal spiritual growth and in the development of their professional ministerial skills. We provide continuing education and further training through conferences, seminars, literature, tapes, and other appropriate means.

Provide Credentials for those candidates with a clear and recognizable calling to Christian ministry. Licensing and ordination enable ministers to perform functions such as marriage, burying the dead, administration and oversight of all church activities and functions.

Spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism, church planting, leadership development, discipleship, and Biblical teaching and training for the work of the ministry.

Promote Unity, Peace, and Brotherhood among all of the various expressions of the Body of Christ. We respect and protect the autonomy of local churches and ministries within the fellowship. Affiliation with this organization is voluntary and does not constitute governmental control of the fellowship over the local churches or ministries.

LEVELS AND BENEFITS:

Affiliation - An affiliate member is one who views MMFI as their primary source of credentials, fellowship, and accountability. The annual fee entitles them to additional benefits of affiliation, including a discount on the annual conference, a periodic "seedbag" of books, CDs, and other timely materials, as well as support and counsel of the fellowship. Affiliate members support the goals, spirit, and statement of faith of the fellowship.

Fellowship - A member in fellowship is one who desires to participate in the activities of MMFI to promote unity in the Body of Christ. A member in fellowship would support the general purpose of MMFI, but would not be required to totally adhere to our statement of faith, and may or may not hold credentials with another organization.
