Faith Net USA - a network of ministries, ministers and churches
Faith Net USA Levels of Membership

Faith Net USA offers two levels of entry to membership and maintains open fellowship with Faith Alliance as a non-membered partner. This provides three levels of relationship. Members of Faith Alliance receive no oversight and have no accountability to FNUSA.  It is a confederation of friends. Within FNUSA there are two levels of accountability, always leaving autonomy in the individual minister or church.   Each level carries different responsibilities, expectations, and benefits, based on either direct or indirect accountability.

Faith Alliance – is a confederation of friends with no oversight or accountability.

1. Level 1 - Faith Net is for those commissioned elsewhere for primary accountability. FNUSA provides equipping, personal oversight and support, open interchange, and opportunity to join in efforts of mobilization for advance.  FNUSA  serves as the source of equipping but not primary accountability; members of this group are covered by peer or mutual accountability.  There is no licensing.  Personal ministry is derived through an Apostolic Team.  Based on fees and personal request, a Leadership Team may be deployed to function alongside the member’s ministry.

Level 1 Fees: $250 annual (Spouses are discounted to $125.).  A minister would have the option of fee-based crisis intervention in personal life.  The minister’s affiliated church or ministry would not be expected to financially support FNUSA in any way but might voluntarily sow “seed” offerings or participate in mutually agreed upon mission or outreach projects.

2. Level 2 - Faith Net Fellowship of Churches, Ministers and Ministries is for those commissioned within Faith Net for primary accountability. FNUSA provides crisis intervention services in personal life without additional fees.  FNUSA also serves as strength, covering, organizational support; provides regional meetings, one annual event, organizational crisis assistance, Prophetic Council, Intercessory Teams, and Leadership Training visits.  Each member/church has an Apostolic Team assigned and gets visited.  All expenses are covered by the inviting church and an offering received for visiting ministry.  Access to the Leadership Team is open.

Level 2 Fees: This covering includes Crisis prevention or intervention in either congregational or personal life and a Prophetic Council and Intercessory Team.  Annual fees are $250 (Individual or couple) and 5% of gross personal income or its equivalent (one-half of the tithe).  “Equivalent” indicates recognition that in some cases, this might be channeled through an organization.
