If you’re ready to join the Network, scroll down just a bit on this page to find the form for sending in your bio and photo. Need more information? Read more here:
What does joining mean? Joining the AFFN means that you affirm Ancient-Future renewal in the Church– and it means you want to add your voice to the growing numbers of others who feel the same. You needn’t agree with everything here, and our voluntary association is less about doctrinal bona fides and more about mutual encouragement.
Why join? This community is for you: You may be serving in a place of joy and would like to share what God is doing in your ministry. You may be serving in a place of hardship, facing indifference to renewal, and would like to learn how to implement Ancient-Future principles in effective ways. You may be interested in learning how to plant an Ancient-Future church. You are welcome here. Try these links to learn more About Us, or our History and vision.
What does it cost? It costs nothing to become an AFFN member and there are no membership fees. Please know that in the future we will ask Network members to make a voluntary donation to help with expenses like the maintenance of our website and annual gatherings.
The only cost is the time you devote– the members of the AFFN are the heartbeat of our growing family. We urge you to reach out to them, engage, and join our number. You’ll be received with a warm embrace. Whether you’re here to give, take, learn, teach, encourage, or be encouraged– this Network is for you.
What do I get? Network members are featured with a bio sketch, picture, and appropriate links on our Network Members page. And coming soon: Members will be exclusively eligible to post links to resources that they offer to the public for sale. The Resources Page feature is not yet ready (but close!) and will be coming soon. Network members will also get free access to selected items at our annual convocations.
What do I do now? Simply fill out and submit the form below so we can process your request and contact you. (Submitting the form will not automatically post your information; we’ll be doing that for you). If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask; we’re happy to help and serve. Something to keep in mind: Signing up for a website username and password, or signing “The Call”, are not the same as joining the Network. You’re welcome to do either without becoming a member.
The AFFN board reserves the right to refuse membership and may block or ban people, especially in The Cloister, our public forum. Our aim here is to provide a place of professional interaction and purpose consistent with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the witness of the historic and orthodox faith, and “The Call to an Ancient-Evangelical Future”.
