ABOUT AGN
Vision
As an international fellowship of Five-Fold Ministry gifts from around the globe, our
mission at Apostolic Global Network (AGN) is to fulfill the Great Commission - to seek
and save the lost. Through the preaching and teaching of the Word, anchored
and united by faith, we do the work of the ministry.
The vision of the AGN is to provide fellowship, leadership, training, guidance and
spiritual covering for those desiring a standard of excellence in ministry.
Mission
This organization will create a more excellent forum for national and international
Pastors and Ministers who desire a close mentoring relationship. There must be a
willingness to submit to godly counsel, and ethical and financial accountability standards.
AGN will create a forum to pool Kingdom resources to help develop the potential and
maximize the productivity of all member ministries.
We are a Network
AGN is a non-profit organization and is governed by its bylaws and headed by its
founder, (Apostle) Dr. Ronald L. Hamm. Corporate headquarters are located in
Atlanta, Georgia. AGN is not a denomination. It does not govern any of its members-
Ministries. Each ministry operates personally, privately, and independently of AGN,
and the member-ministry has no required reporting accountability to this organization. However,
as members of the Body of Christ, all should live lives representative of Christ and
above reproach. Therefore, AGN and its leadership strongly believe, teach and
exemplify a high standard of integrity, Godly character, and moral excellence, and
encourages that standard to be duplicated throughout its membership.
In addition to fellowshipping and worshipping together, another goal of the AGN is to
strengthen and build international and local ministries through a series of regional
conferences, worship services, in-depth workshops, and seminars designed not only
for the pastor/minister, but church staff and auxiliary workers as well.
Benefits
1. Fellowship among ministers.
The power of unity should never be underestimated, and unity is fostered through ongoing and genuine fellowship between those of like precious faith. Through our network, we develop deeper acquaintances that build lasting friendships, share knowledge and gifts that encourage, strengthen and support one another, and experience a camaraderie that truly makes us family. Fellowship is a powerful weapon that emboldens the Body of Christ and, most especially, those called to the work of the ministry.
2. A covering for ministers and to provide credibility and accountability derived from being a part of a larger network of ministries.
Every minister should have someone with experience in ministry and a good reputation whom the minister may go to for advice and/or counsel. Whether it be a ministry question or if the minister finds himself or herself in contradiction to God’s Word, an avenue has been opened where the minister can confide, confess, repent and receive love and sound biblical advice without the threat of being unduly exposed.
3. Bi-Annual and Regional Conferences
The Annual or bi-annual conferences serve as our convocation designed for the purpose of focused ministry and training in key areas of ministry including pastoral development, church administration, and the ministry of help. Regional conferences serve as exceptional opportunities for increased fellowship through a more intimate environment. Evening after-service receptions provide an excellent way to end the day through excellent one-on-one fellowship that strengthens our unity.
4. A resource of information, education, and direction.
AGN members can obtain valuable information and direction to enhance his/her ministry from the website and other established and proven ministries.
5. Ordination
Ordination by Dr. Ronald L. Hamm and the AGN Advisory Board is available to all AGN members who have been members for one year or more and meet AGN's qualifications for ordination.
6. Access to staff and local contacts.
Questions regarding administrative procedures, as well as in other areas, can be answered by seasoned staff members of local ministries, when needed.
7. A directory of all AGN member churches for referrals.
Provides members with an avenue for keeping in touch with one another. It also provides a list of churches in other states and countries from which we refer members who are relocating or visiting a particular area. The prospective visitor or member can attend a service and then decide if that is the ministry whereby he or she can be ministered to, learn, and grow in the things of God.
8. Preferred or reserved seating at conventions and regional conferences.
Members can enjoy the privilege of preferred or reserved seating at any IMF event.
