Ministers Fellowship

IAM MINISTERS FELLOWSHIP

United by God's Passion to extend His Kingdom

The purpose of the IAM Ministers' Fellowship is to bring ministers and ministries into greater unity with God's Kingdom purposes and thus with one another.  This is accomplished by supporting, equipping, and providing accountability networks among our members.  Paul encourages us to "be submitted to one another" in Ephesians 5:21, thus facilitating integrity with the Lord and before the church.

IMF membership is available predominately for North American ministers only.
