Membership Commitments
For Funded Churches
A Mission Catalyst-funded church starts and joins MC by following the affiliation process outlined on our website. A church maintains its affiliation with MC on an annual basis, renewable each calendar year, by annually agreeing to the following:
-
The church is non-negotiably outreach-focused.
-
The church affirms and agrees to teach the Mission Catalyst doctrinal summary.
-
The church is involved in a mission project at least 100 miles from its community.
-
The church pays forward a percentage of its tithe and local giving to the network support office so we can start more churches and resource the congregations. The church pays forward 10% until it has paid back the amount it has received in funding from MC, at which point the percentage becomes 5%. (Funds not subject to this arrangement: money donated to a capital campaign; money earmarked for a parachurch ministry that has no connection with the local church; donations of goods and services.)
-
The church manages its finances with integrity and responsibility.
-
The church creates a Pivotal Design team ASAP.
