WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN ATM RELATED CHURCH OR RELATED MINISTRY?
If relationships are not defined specifically and practically, they tend to be vague, confusing, and non-productive. Many networks have laid out certain criteria for the churches that relate within their particular network. The criteria differs from network to network. Since we value relationships, we view the ATM network as a family of churches.
An ATM-related church is...
…A Church that has been planted or adopted by ATM through an apostolic representative. It became an ATM church by recomendation of its apostolic representative and by its own choice to affiliate with ATM.
