Ministry Affiliation

How To Become An I. A. M. Church or Ministry

International Apostolic Ministries is a growing family of Churches and Ministries that are making the name of Jesus famous throughout the entire world. The senior minister of the Church or Ministry must be an ordained member of IAM in order for the Church/Ministry to be affiliated. If you are not an ordained member of IAM, please see our Membership & Ordination section.

What It Means To Be An I. A. M. Church/Ministry:

• Commitment to an extended family of churches and ministries
• Sharing resources, creativity, innovations for the sake of the gospel and the great commission
• Biblical relationships with Apostles and Prophets and "spiritual fathers"
• Strength by numbers larger than the single ministry itself enabling all to do more
• Give strength and stability to the Church/ministry by being part of something bigger
• Giving accountability, loyalty, love and consideration for more than self (Which is what each Church/Ministry wants from the people they also serve.)

Each affiliate ministry requires administrative support, as a part of the organization of International Apostolic Ministries. In order that we might accommodate these administrations it is necessary for each affiliate ministry to renew their affiliation each year on or before August 31st. Completing an online form at our web address and submitting the annual renewal fee of $100.00 can accomplish this.

A reminder is sent to the Affiliate Church or Ministry with the proper web address for the renewal form to be completed and any other pertinent Affiliate Ministry news. (This renewal of affiliation is for Churches & Ministries who are affiliated with International Apostolic Ministries. They may or may not be using the IRS General Exempt status of IAM.)

A plaque will be made available for all affiliate ministries that states that, "this Church, or Ministry, is affiliated with the International Apostolic Ministries."

Each month the affiliate ministry is mailed a fund support letter with a return envelope for the affiliate ministries financial support of our IAM outreaches. There are five funds of which the affiliate ministry may support any or all on a monthly basis:

1. Emergency Preparedness Fund
2. Widows, Orphans & Aliens Fund
3. International Missions Fund
4. Church Planting Fund
5. Apostolic Team Ministries Fund (A-Team)

These "Funds" are part of who we are and what we do as a family of ministries. The congregations and ministry supporters should be given regular opportunity to share into these funds. This will bring us together as a family of ministries and give us unified purpose in our relationships.

Together, we are a family of ministries that are making the name of Jesus famous!
