CONNECTION • COVERING • COMMISSION

Accomplish More Together

We are a family of ministry leaders, pastors, and missionaries connected through relationship to accomplish more together than we can alone.

The Global Awakening Network is an opportunity to connect with like-minded pastors, leaders, and missionaries. Find a path to 501(c)3 status, credentialing, prayer support, regular gatherings, access to evangelists, revivalists, prophetic training, and more.

We understand the need for resourcing, and the challenges of growing a church and ministry. We created the Network to give an opportunity for building relationships with like-minded people, to have the covering of an apostolic leader, and to provide opportunities for equipping and activation. Leadership does not have to be lonely. Let’s walk together in community and family.

Answers to Your Questions

How do I know if I qualify to be a member?

If you are the senior pastor of a church or lead an active para-church ministry, chances are you qualify. If the church or ministry you lead qualifies for a 501(c)3, you qualify for the Network. You can also qualify for the Network as a missionary.

What are the financial requirements?

There is a non-refundable application fee for prospective ANGA members. The fee to apply for membership is $150, and there is a minimum fee of $30 dollars a month that can either be paid monthly or annually. We encourage Partnership as an easy solution.

Do marketplace ministries qualify?

Unfortunately, no. Our Network is made up of churches, itinerant ministers, and missionaries. It is not currently set up to support marketplace-style ministries.

Does the Network provide credentialing?

Yes. Licensure and ordination are available for qualifying Network members. Applicants must be in the Network for at least six months in order to apply for credentialing and are expected to maintain active membership with the Network. Members who leave the Network lose their credentials.

Do I have to leave my current denomination?

Certainly not! We do ask you to identify who you are primarily accountable to.

Are speakers from Global Awakening available to minister in my church?

Tom Jones and Charity Cook are available to minister on behalf of the Network. Contact charity@globalawakening.com to schedule a time. We also have Global Associates who are available to speak at your church or ministry. Finally, we have Global School Awakening Teams available to minister at churches and ministries each spring. For more information, please contact our office.

I want to join, but my church isn't ready. What do you suggest?

Please check with our office. While individuals typically do not qualify for the Network, exceptions can sometimes be made.

I have both a church and a ministry. Will my Network membership cover both?

Network membership will cover a single church or ministry. You would need to choose one or the other to join the Network, or submit applications and fees for both.

About Gaining Your 501(c)3 Status

Qualifying Network churches and ministries can receive federal tax exemption by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Through participation in our group tax exemption, members can operate as a tax-deductible, non-profit organization at a fraction of the cost & time typically required for an entity to receive its tax-exempt determination from the IRS.

Can any Network member participate in the tax exemption?

Not all members will qualify for group tax exemption. One basic requirement is the need for the member to have been formed within the last 15 months. For more details and a complete list of the IRS requirements, please contact our office.

How can I apply for tax exemption?

Due to the additional requirements associated with group tax exemption, Network members must complete a separate application, which may be submitted along with a prospective member’s Network application or submitted separately by current Network members. Please contact our office to receive the group tax exemption application.

What fees are involved with gaining tax exemption?

There is a non-refundable application fee for the group tax exemption application in addition to the application fee for prospective Network members. Additionally, a onetime, setup fee is due upon acceptance into the group tax exemption program. Lastly, inclusion in the program must be renewed by the member annually, subject to the requirements listed below.

How do I maintain tax exemption with the Network?

To continue to participate in the program members must provide the following by July 31 of each year:

Payment to cover the administrative fees associated with the program.
An annual report detailing the status of your ministry, including a financial snapshot for the previous year (as required by the IRS).
