Church: Resurrection Family LIFE Worship Center
                               
In obedience to God’s direction, Shield of FaithFellowship of Churches, Inc. has embraced the corporate goal of participating in the establishing and oversight of many churches on various continents around the World.  We reverently acknowledge that God has called us to plant and nurture churches and to provide direction for churches and pastors in these critical closing days of the Church Age.  In the pursuit of these objectives, we identify the following terms as necessary for participation in the fellowship (Any church or pastor willing to agree with these conditions will benefit greatly from the blessings that God is providing through this ministry.):

Churches and pastors may affiliate with the Shield of Faith Fellowship of Churches under the following terms and conditions:

Receiving Pastoral Oversight
There must be a willingness to receive Dr. Henry B. Alexander as “pastor”, to recognize the mandate that God has given him and to submit to his pastoral authority.  Additionally, he is to be regarded as a spiritual overseer who will watch for the spiritual condition of the pastors and saints and will dispense pastoral instruction.

Financial Participation
There must be a willingness to contribute to the financial welfare of the Shield of Faith Fellowship as directed by the Lord. Pastors are expected to tithe (10% of church income) as a supporting offering for the many beneficial and benevolent activities of The Fellowship.

Maintaining Devotional Life
Each pastor must make a commitment to maintain a consistent and regular prayer life with accompanying devotional habits.   Despite busy schedules and the many demands of ministry, each pastor is challenged to be alone with God at least one consistent hour per day on a regular basis.

Ongoing Educational Development
Each pastor is asked to explore the feasibility of enrolling in a distance-learning program offered through the official academic institution of the Shield of Faith Fellowship of Churches, International, Inc.

Commitment to Biblical Truth
There must be an absolute and total commitment to preach and teach biblical truth as revealed in scripture, amplified by the Holy Ghost, and mutually embraced and understood by the Executive Council of the Fellowship of Churches.

Church Planting
There must be a willingness to seek aggressively for the propagation of biblical truth and evangelism by promoting the planting of daughter-church congregations whenever possible.

Receiving Correction
There must be a willingness to receive correction and accept confrontation when any doctrinal error is detected, and to humbly take corrective measures when justified, especially in areas of preaching and teaching.

Godly Deportment
Each pastor must be accountable to the Executive Council concerning the lifestyle of personal holiness and deportment, both within and outside the pulpit.

Family Life
Each pastor is to recognize the critical importance of sensitive family leadership and to live out the love of Christ in family issues on a day-by-day basis.  Further, there must be a willingness to feel vigilant concern for other ministerial families, and a willingness to minister to them in times of crisis or need.

Maintaining Ministerial Excellence
Each pastor must commit himself/herself to excellence in all facets of pastoral and ministerial work, with an observable eagerness to obtain and obey the direction of God in all matters of ministry and personal spiritual growth.  Also needed is a willingness to coordinate church calendars and cooperate with other fellowship pastors and churches in the immediate area for the mutual benefit of each other when possible.

Godliness in Business Practices
Finally, there must be a willingness to conform one’s business practices, in both church and personal matters, to be the highest standards of godliness and biblical morality.  All church business activities must be ethically sound, well organized, and executed in accordance with the spirit and letter of all regulating agencies and authorities.
