Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the Grace Gospel Fellowship affiliated
churches and their members to support the ministries of the Grace Gospel
Fellowship and its affiliated organizations by prayer and, where possible,
by their financial giving. These organizations include: Grace Bible
College, Grace Ministries International, Grace Publication, Bible
Doctrines To Live By, Missionary Literature Distributors, Prison Mission
Association, Grace Youth Camp, Northern Grace Youth Camp, Lost and Found
and Salt Ministries.
Grace Gospel
Fellowship is responsible to serve its affiliated churches, providing
help, leadership and encouragement whenever possible. Some of the programs
designed to do that are Sharebuilders (helping churches build or add to
buildings), Pastor's Subsidy (helping new or struggling works obtain full
time pastors), Pastor Placement, Administrative and operational
consultation, procedures to ordain men to ministry who meet accepted
standards, promote the work of its members and endeavor to keep a flow of
information to all about what the others are doing. New ministries will be
devised to meet particular needs and challenges as we did in the
institution of an Annuity program for our pastors.
While all of
us are autonomous (self governing) we realize that we are inter-dependent,
needing each other. I Corinthians 12 emphasizes this truth. Grace Gospel
Fellowship is an endeavor to illustrate the great unity of the Body of
Christ in an earthly setting.
Local
assemblies of believers and other ministries which recognize the
distinctive ministry and message given by the risen Christ through the
apostle Paul and whose doctrinal statement is in agreement with that of
the Grace Gospel Fellowship are invited to make inquiry regarding
affiliation.
