My name is Delta Soundman and I'm an Independant.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Stay in fellowship with Jesus Christ and you'll be fine.

Our church had a split and 100 of us followed the pastor.

DeltaSoundman, hang in there.I'm sorry to hear about a church split.

[Sherri]

We've been independent for 16 years now and it's great! Don't join up with something just because you feel alone; let God guide you. He may or may not want you to be a part of a group. If He does, He will show you the right place. If not, He will bring you needed fellowship.

DS, I don't know you ,and this situation is none of my business ,but if you need someone to talk to ,I am certainly here for you.
Sometimes folks go different paths in The Kingdom of God ,but hopefully no one gets bitter, and the name of Jesus is not harmed.

You could check some of those out.

If your church is incorporated according to state and local requirements, you can ordain etc. and would not need another organization for that type of legal status. You might want to remain independent with the local church sovereign and not subject to outside control.

As far as joining another organization, who do you know around you and what organization(s) are they in? You might want to join an organization that some around you are in.

AMF, from what I understands, leaves the local churches sovereign. However, the "standards" preached and practiced are quite conservative and you and your congregation may not feel comfortable.

Global Network includes trinitarians and you may not feel comfortable with that.

Church of Jesus Christ in Kingsport, TN insists on KJV only and does not allow the title of "Rev." Those may be issues with you. Also, it's a pretty small organization. (small organization is based on the chA that)

ALJC is pretty moderate and has churches lots of places. You may want to consider them if there are churches and ministers in your area.

UACoJC is small (about 18 churches, I think) and mostly in Indiana but it seems to be moderate to conservative from what I understand.

PAW is pretty liberal. That may be a problem for you.


I really don't know much about other groups.

Sam, as usual you have all the stats. I'm not sure of the subject/topic but you should write a book. YOU are the GOOGLE of Apostolic information and trivia.
