Affiliation Opportunity
Acting alone is good, but acting together is far better. Acting together to expand kingdom operations is the reason we established the Grace Affiliate Churches and Ministries (GACM).
This is a collaborative platform through which we work with Churches and Para-Church Ministries affiliated to us to exchange diverse ministerial supports and resources to enable the Affiliates to function effectively within their peculiar focus.
Terms of Engagement
- A Church or Para-Church Ministry that seeks Affiliation must read and understand the unique identity of CGTM and locate how it aligns with their individual Ministry’s and Church’s focus.
- Prospective Affiliates is complete the Affiliation Application; stating the Ministry’s/Church’s vision, focus and reason it wants to Affiliate with CGTM. There is no Affiliation fee, both at the outset and for ongoing relationship.
- An Affiliate may choose to run his or her Church or Ministry under the name of CGTM or operate with a different Brand name, but use CGTM as AKA. Example, you can have something like, Glory Life Centre aka Chapel of Grace Transformation Ministry. Glory Life Centre is the Brand name of the Affiliate Ministry/Church, but Chapel of Grace Transformation Ministry is the name it uses for official banking transactions*.
- Each Affiliate Operates as an Independent Ministry/Church, and is not subject to the leadership of CGTM for its operations. This means that each Affiliate shall have financial and administrative autonomy as well as be self-organised in such a way as to reflect its own peculiarity and circumstance.
- Each affiliate may decide to be paying its corporate tithe to CGTM as a mark of commitment to a continuing relationship with CGTM, but this is discretionary and not compulsory.

Such an Affiliate is not under any obligation to give reason(s) for the deciding to opt out. The request will be granted without prejudice, provided mutual obligations are settled.
- CGTM shall have the right to disengage any Affiliate upon breach of the Terms of Engagement. A breach shall constitute any act(s) that is contrary to the spirit and letter of this engagement or any other act(s) that runs contrary to sound Christian Ministerial Practice and Ethics.

Each Affiliate is responsible for their ministerial choices and operations, and each will be answerable to their people and to the State where they operate for their actions or inaction.
