Vision Statement - We seek to educate, communicate, and build relationships in Christ and with Christ.

Net2Church Global Ministries seeks to unite the body of Christ, with Christ, and one another. We seek to learn and teach principles of unity through practical life experiences, and to lead through our example of love as expressed by our desires to build relationships of love and trust that will ultimately lead into deeper spiritual intimacy (both individually and collectively).

Mission Statement

We are called first to love pastors. Our mission is to build and maintain a spiritual safety net for Christian pastors. This includes providing places of refuge and a support system outside of their congregations and circle of influence; A place of healing from burn-out or conflict, and a place for spiritual restoration from their woundedness, or loss of a calling. We seek to help pastors renew their faith and restore intimacy with God and parishioners. Finally, we seek to encourage them and release them back into the mission field.

Our second calling is to connect the body of Christ with one another; To build and maintain a communications system, and to provide a platform in the body of Christ for those individuals with a call to exercise or walk in their gifts beyond denominational walls and limitations; And to glorify God by providing a platform for churches and para-church organizations to participate unitedly in the common cause of sharing authentic, dynamic, compassionate Christianity to the world.

Prophetic Stand

Crestwood Pastoral Retreat Center - We see another awakening on the horizon. Due to this anticipated outpouring, we are preparing to serve pastors struggling with new theological issues, or enlightenment. We see the current unacceptable loss rate of 1500 (US) pastors that are leaving their congregations every month will likely more than double during a revival, and Net2Church is called to help these pastors in need by building the first retreat center in New England at Crestwood (Winchester, NH). Although Net2Church will not be able to meet even the current demand for this type of ministry, we hope to influence significant changes and lead the way for both awareness and results through our ministry example.

Note - This article from Steve Foss Ministries supports this perspective.

Values Statement

In fulfilling our vision we are committed to excellence in Christian love. We are striving for unity in the body of Christ, understanding that unity is a result of the pursuit and balance of Christian love, and intimacy with God (and one another). We pursue all things in Christ according to our understanding of God through the harmonious blending of His written word (Holy Bible), and by His indwelling Spirit, and by the communion of the saints (gathering of believers).
