CHAPTERS

Chapters (25-225 individuals) are large enough to benefit from diversity and shared resources but still small enough to be grounded in relationships.

• Chapters are primarily responsible for providing credentialing and care for ministers, as well as avenues for partnership and collaboration among ministries and organizations.

• Chapters are independent and self-organized. Any coalition of 3-5 cohorts may start a chapter based on geography or affinity as long as they align with the network's purpose and principles.

• Chapters will gather at least biannually to foster connection and collaboration.

• Each chapter will collaborate on a Chapter Charter, which serves as the chapter’s guiding document and application for Network membership.

• Each chapter will be led by a core team nominated and elected by the members of the chapter.
