JOIN NRP
While NRP is an organization, our name describes our heart: a network of related pastors. When you join NRP, you are not signing up for a program. You are entering a covenant relationship with a tribe of pastors and leaders who walk together in trust, accountability, and shared mission. By joining NRP, your church becomes connected to other churches in the network. We believe the mission of the local church is to create more local churches anywhere and everywhere. We honor the unique mandate on each local church while also operating in the collective strength of churches working together to disciple nations.
HERE'S WHAT CONNECTION
TO NRP LOOKS LIKE
SUPPORT PASTORS, SHARE RESOURCES, and STRENGTHEN THE LOCAL CHURCH
Joining NRP means joining a covenant family. We believe no pastor, spouse, family, or leadership team should have to navigate ministry alone. Covenant relationships create a place of safety where leaders are known, supported, encouraged, and challenged to become everything God has called them to be.
Together, we share wisdom, resources, encouragement, and accountability because healthy leaders build healthy churches. We share the victories, carry the burdens, and stand with one another because ministry was never meant to be done in isolation.
​
​MONTHLY COMMITMENT
Each NRP pastor and church contributes monthly to NRP. This fund supports the NRP team, relational care at the local level, and many of our training and equipping opportunities.
This commitment reflects the equivalent of a pastor’s tithe and may be given directly or designated as a missions offering. (We have special arrangements for bivocational or covocational pastors.)
PRESBYTERY
We ask that each of our covenant churches establish a presbytery. These are men selected from within NRP who serve as your reference team for input, your ministry team for support and care, and your strategic partners when needed. They provide a place of safety and strength where you and your church can walk in authentic accountability.
We describe accountability in four areas:
-
Biblical integrity
-
Ethical and moral integrity
-
Financial integrity
-
Missional integrity
If this culture and mission align with what God is stirring in you and your church, we would love to connect. It all starts with a conversation. We want to get to know you, give you the opportunity to know us, and make sure there is genuine alignment for a healthy and fruitful relationship.
If you’re exploring connection and want to learn more about NRP, we’d love to start that conversation. If you’ve already connected with a member of our Lead Team, understand the commitment of covenant relationship, and are ready to move forward, take the next step toward joining NRP.
From there, we begin walking together with a shared commitment to strengthen the local church and advance the Kingdom.
