Our Conferences, particularly, reflect this. A defined chain of accountability links every local church to the wider movement. Communication on a one-off basis is always encouraged. Occasional combined Celebration services, youth camps, seminars, etc give our church members opportunity to fellowship and build a common vision. There is no central property holding entity.
Local finances are the responsibility of each local church.
Help is available to set up a sound financial system that meets the need of a local church, and basic standards of ethics and responsible bookkeeping and reporting. This covers national office costs, some annual conference expenses, and network development costs. A financial report is distributed annually to member churches. Over time, the National Leadership administrates any build-up of funds collectively. Emphasis on helping with pioneering new works is a priority.
