6. How does an existing church affiliate with Sovereign Grace?

Quite simply, it takes time and the development of a relationship. Over time and through a process of becoming acquainted with each other—e.g. through conversations, conference attendance, exposure to Sovereign Grace materials, and strategic dialogues with a member of the Sovereign Grace leadership team (or, more typically, a Sovereign Grace pastor representing the team), an interested church becomes more familiar with the doctrine and practices of Sovereign Grace. The goal of this process is to arm the interested church with an accurate portrayal of Sovereign Grace’s strengths and weaknesses, warts and all. This process also affords the Sovereign Grace pastor/team member an opportunity to assess the compatibility of the inquiring church with Sovereign Grace. The goals of this process are doctrinal fidelity, a commitment to mission, and a significant relational component.
