Membership

“Belonging, Connection, Care and Loving Accountability are all keys to a successful Ministerial Fellowship. Anchor Ministerial Fellowship prides itself on being much more than a credentialing body offering ministers of the gospel a place to ‘put down roots’. Our much loved “Grow Days” will inspire and equip you as you lead and other events such as the Annual Conference and Regional Gatherings will deepen your connection with other Anchor Members. Thank you for considering joining Anchor Ministerial  Fellowship.”

Ken Miles, Anchor President
