HOW WE PARTNER
___

OVERVIEW

INTERNATIONAL:

Through connection, coaching, and cooperative resourcing, the Pillar Network partners to start and strengthen churches all over the world. Our team, composed of personnel from Europe, the Hispanic world, and the US, helps unite like-minded partners, sharing the same convictions and doctrine, together for Great Commission work.

UNITED STATES:

In the United States, the Pillar Network is an affinity association of churches that cooperate with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) for the purpose of international missions, church planting, and theological education. While Southern Baptists are like-minded in doctrine that is consistent with the Baptist Faith & Message 2000, the Pillar Network provides a home within that larger context for churches that are committed to leadership by a plurality of male Elders, live expository preaching, Kingdom multiplication through church-to-church planting and revitalization efforts, and the Gospel of our Sovereign Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In relation to our Convention agencies/seminaries, it is Pillar’s desire to support, encourage, and serve these critical institutions, however we can, for the good of the Great Commission.

MEANINGFUL COOPERATION WITH PILLAR:

  • AFFIRM our DNA and beliefs

  • ENGAGE in network functions (ex. zoom calls, regional events, the Unite Conference, etc.)

  • GIVE meaningfully to the Pillar Network (ex. Most US churches move towards giving 1-2% of their budgets)

  • PARTNER directly with at least one other church plant/revitalization work in the Pillar Network (US or International)

COOPERATING
FOR THE GREAT COMMISSION

Church planting partnerships are essential in fulfilling the Great Commission and imperative for cooperating through the Pillar Network. We can do more together through partnerships that encourage gospel collaboration than we can do apart from each other. Our ultimate desire is to develop an international network of confessionally Baptist churches that equip the next generation to plant and revitalize biblically healthy congregations.

FINANCIAL
ACCOUNTABILITY

Being good stewards of the assets and finances the Lord has entrusted to us is a major priority for our network leadership. Here are some of the means we engage for financial oversight:

  • Pillar partners with Dime for financial processing, bookkeeping, and accountability.

  • Our board of directors receive a line-by-line explanation of our projected annual budget each fall. Board members have two months to review the budget, ask questions, make suggestions, prior to voting in December.

  • We have a financial sub-committee composed of board members that provide further layers of accountability for our staff.

  • Our staff sends monthly reports of cash flow, income, expenses, etc. to our board of directors for review.
