Gideon Nation

Vision

To establish the equity of the distinctive ministry model within the body of Christ 

 

Mission

To maintain a fellowship of ministries that results in the support, progression, and expansion of distinctive ministries

 

 Gideon Nation is a Christian Fellowship that serves as a support network for micro, para, home, and community-based ministries. We are a network of ministries that have 40 or fewer people at its base, what we refer to as distinctive. We understand that not every church family is designed to be large or moderate in size. Distinctive ministries are small, healthy, viable church families that expand and grow, and are highly effective in goal apprehension and Kingdom impact. The Lord has provided a place and purpose for distinctive ministries within the body of Christ. As with Gideon, God shows that He is effective with all counts and numbers of people. One church family, not one greater than the other, all one body for his glory.

​

What makes the network unique and effective is our understanding and experience with micro- and para ministries. Our founders have been pastors of micro and para ministries for over 20 years. They have faced and overcome the challenges of stigmas that one may face in leading a distinctive ministry. Our fellowship provides support, comradery, resources, and innovative ministry solutions that can assist you in removing barriers to the vision that God has given you. The fellowship does not interfere with or represent any member legally; or alter their autonomy in any way. We simply provide support to our members through resource sharing, monthly leadership meetings/roundtables, workshops, and coaching.

​

You don't have to feel like you made a wrong turn or that God is asking you to make bricks without straw. We are a fellowship that understands and is here to offer support. Sign up today and experience the benefits of being independent, but not alone.
