Membership
Member churches participate financially in supporting the Midwest Ministers’ Fellowship and the services provided to
member and non-member churches. Membership fees are the practical means that allows us to implement the
vision and purpose of the MMF. It is our desire to walk in financial integrity, and all financial support is handled with
openness and honesty.
Benefits of membership:
The Midwest Ministers’ Fellowship Meeting
Our monthly fellowship is open to all ministers and their spouses.
It provides a time of high-quality Biblical teaching tailored to the needs
of local church pastors and ministers, from the hearts of national and
local ministers. Meetings also provide a place for worship, prayer, and
fellowship. A complimentary luncheon is provided.
The Annual Midwest Ministers’ Fellowship Retreat
Our annual retreat in January provides a time of relaxation and inspiration for member ministers, pastors, staff,
elders, and their wives.
Pastoral Consultation
It is the pastoral concern of the Leadership team that there be a forum for meaningful consultation for member
pastors. This will be provided by sponsorship of new churches, monthly fellowship meetings, individual meetings,
and continuing education.
Assistance To Churches
It is our desire to aid member churches during a crisis, as exemplified by the churches in the book of Acts.
Mutual Ministry Coordination
Our individual church ministries are greatly enhanced with interaction and unity. A sharing of ideas, personnel,
facilities, etc. provide an enrichment in the many varied ministries within the local Body of Christ.
Conflict Resolution
The Midwest Ministers’ Fellowship will provide non-binding mediation and arbitration for churches and ministries
when “invited” by those with the authority to do so.
Area-Wide Unity
The Midwest Ministers’ Fellowship forms a “family of like-minded ministers, pastors, and churches” who appreciate
the broader unity of the Body of Christ. Together we will work for greater unity in the Body of Christ throughout the
Midwest and the world.
