Join the Family

GFM Fellowship welcomes pastors, churches, ministers, and ministry leaders who desire authentic spiritual relationship, pastoral support, leadership development, accountability, fellowship, and a larger Kingdom family in which to grow and serve.

What Fellowship Means

Connection with Greater Faith Ministries Fellowship is more than organizational membership. It is a commitment to spiritual relationship, fellowship, growth, accountability, mutual support, and participation in a larger family of pastors and churches.

GFM Fellowship exists to strengthen pastors and local churches while honoring the calling, identity, and assignment of each ministry within the fellowship family.

Your Local Church Still Matters

GFM Fellowship exists to strengthen the church God has entrusted to you, not replace its calling or identity. Fellowship connection is intended to provide relationship, development, support, accountability, and Kingdom partnership while honoring the unique assignment of each local ministry.

Walking Together in Fellowship

Fellowship is strongest when relationship is mutual. We encourage connected pastors and churches to remain engaged, communicate openly, participate in fellowship life, support one another, and help protect the spirit of unity that makes meaningful fellowship possible.

About Ministerial Credentials

Ministerial credentialing is available through GFM Fellowship, but it is a distinct process from church fellowship connection. Not everyone who connects a church seeks credentials, and credentialing is pursued separately with its own conversation, review, and requirements.

For details on credential types, eligibility, required documentation, and the review process, or contact GFM Fellowship directly.
