Support, connection, and resources for pastors and churches—AFCM is here to walk with you as you build and lead your local church.
Planting a church or pastoring a growing congregation? You don’t have to do it alone. By affiliating or associating your church with AFCM, you become part of a global network of faith-filled, like-minded ministers who are committed to walking in integrity, building the Church, and finishing their race strong.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to connect with a trusted network, AFCM provides the support, structure, and relationships you need to thrive in ministry.
Affiliate Churches incorporate under AFCM’s Federal Group Exemption Number (GEN), using our Constitution and By-Laws. Our attorney submits all the necessary paperwork on your behalf, making it a smooth process from start to finish. It’s a one-stop option to launch your church with excellence, while gaining the strength of spiritual covering and connection to a family of like-minded churches.
Associate Churches already have their own tax-exempt status but desire the accountability, counsel, and encouragement that comes from being connected to something bigger. As an Associate Church, you benefit from spiritual support, relational connection, and shared vision, without changing your existing structure.
Explore how your church can thrive under the spiritual and corporate covering of AFCM—while staying true to the unique call God has given you.
AFCM is dedicated to equipping, inspiring, and connecting a family of ministry leaders for greater Kingdom impact worldwide. In this section of our website you will find enlightening articles from seasoned ministers and church leaders, creative ideas, and free resources, all geared toward helping you lead better.
AFCM is not just for pastors, but for every aspiring leader, volunteer, or staff person who desires to serve Christ and change the world for Him.
