Statement of Partnership:
Churchplanting partnerships are essential in fulfilling the Great Commission and imperative for cooperating through the Christ's Mission Church. We can do more together through partnerships that encourage gospel collaboration than we can do apart from each other.

Financial Accountability:
As a matter of policy and conviction, the Christ's Mission Churchdoes not intervene in the financial decisions of any local Church. Each local Churchis free to exercise its autonomy before God in these matters.
If a Churchplant ceases to exist, all monies given to the Christ's Mission Churchfor that Churchplant will be used to strengthen and support the mission of the existing Churches within the Christ's Mission Church. The Christ's Mission Churchleadership team will determine how to distribute those committed finances.
