Dear Interested Church Leader,
Greetings from the Exodus International office! Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of the Exodus Church Network. We would be delighted to receive your church as an applicant.
After 30 years of reaching out to individuals and families affected by homosexuality, Exodus recognizes the crucial need to work more closely with churches. Alan Chambers, the President of Exodus, recently commented, “Exodus is a Kingdom ministry—it is no longer a ministry outside of the church, but a ministry of the church.”
Through our Church Network we hope to do three things. One, we hope to exhort the church at-large to stand confidently and boldly on the truth of scripture with regard to homosexuality. Two, we hope to equip churches to minister to the individuals within their own congregation who are struggling with unwanted homosexuality, as well as the family members of a gay loved one. And three, we hope to create a nationwide referral list of churches, including your church, for those who are searching for a church family that will walk alongside them in their journey. For men and women overcoming homosexuality, a pivotal part of healing and restoration is the need to be included in—and be a part of—the body of Christ. One woman overcoming lesbianism shared, "My experience of being welcomed, invited and embraced by the men, women, and families in my church made all the difference in the world as I sought to overcome my sexual brokenness and sin.”
To begin the membership process, complete this membership application. Included in the application are Exodus’ Doctrinal and Policy Statements, the Application Form, and the Exodus Church Network Qualifications. Once you submit the application, it will be reviewed and, if all qualifications are met, your church will be listed as an Exodus Network Church on this website and we will refer people to your church. In addition, we will provide ongoing training and resources for your leaders and congregation.
If you have any questions regarding the Exodus Church Network, please do not hesitate to call or email me at jbuchanan@exodusinternational.org.
Again, thank you for your interest in this new outreach of Exodus. We look forward to co-laboring with you in this endeavor and to impacting lives for Christ.
Sincerely in Christ,
Jeff Buchanan
Exodus Church Network Director
