The
Apostolic Council sets the general vision of the network, advises
churches who request our counsel, accepts accountability for the
morals and ethics of the CFN members, plans conferences, and sets
goals for the network. The Council does not involve themselves in
local church matters unless requested to by the church pastor or
the church leaders. It also does not set the vision, policies, or
destiny of the individual ministerial cells. Each ministerial cell
has its own Council which tends to these matters. CFN is not an organization
but a network. Ministers are accountable to their cell leaders and
not to a headquarters. Cell leaders are accountable to L.A. Joiner
and the CFN Council.

Tom & Marsha Roberts Havelock, NC Liberty Christian Church |
|
The sole purpose for our ministerial family or “cell” is to teach and train men and women how to effectively lead in the Body of Christ. Their methods are simple but absolutely foundational for sustained effectiveness if we are to fulfill our individual callings. To Establish – Men and women in ministry must be established and grounded in the fundamentals of ministry before they can effectively carry out their calling over a sustained period of time. To Equip – Once a minister is firmly established in their calling and their faith, then they can begin the equipping process. This process is an individual process depending upon the gifts and callings of that individual. To Effect – Only after a minister is established and equipped can they effect the world around them for the glory of God. Tom & Marsha's highest call is to follow the footsteps of the Lord who has called them into His service and to change their generation with the glorious message of the Kingdom of God. |
