About Membership

Membership is open to all Biblical Christians (born-again) who: 

• Are Biblically minded – have a Biblical worldview.
• Foster a growing and vibrant faith.
• Actively engage in formal or informal ministry.
• Acknowledge both their spiritual strengths and areas for growth.
• Actively seek to engage in mutually beneficial ministry partnerships.
• Desire to contribute to the spiritual and ministry success of others.

A Biblical Worldview fosters unity and trust among our members because: 

• It reflects faithfulness to God’s guidance, resisting worldly influences and embracing transformation through the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:1-2).
• It is essential for ministry, helping us stay true to Christ’s work and calling His people to be set apart (2 Corinthians 6).
• It allows us to adopt the mind of Christ in navigating life’s challenges (1 Corinthians 2:16). 

Membership requires at least a moderate Biblical Worldview. We understand that everyone is at a different stage of spiritual growth, and some may have a stronger Biblical Worldview than others. 

• We are dedicated to helping individuals grow in spiritual maturity and strengthen their Biblical worldview.
• Scripture clearly states that those entrusted with ministry responsibilities are held to a higher level of accountability (1 Timothy 3:1-7). The stronger our Biblical Worldview, the better equipped we are to fulfill our responsibilities in Christ’s ministry. 

There are several pathways to membership, depending on your level of ministry:

• General Community Membership
  • This is the gateway into every other level of membership in the True Hope Community.

  • To apply for General Community Membership (free), follow these two steps:

    1. Complete the Biblical Worldview Assessment.

    2. Complete the General Community Membership Application.

• THMA Ministry Alliance

  • Open to ordained or licensed ministers either:

    • Issued by True Hope Ministries of America or, issued by a recognized, legitimate Biblical ecclesiastical body.
      – – These may join through sponsorship or a non-sponsored path.

• Sponsored Alliance Ministry Membership
  • Those Community Members who are seasoned ministers with credentials may be sponsored to be an Alliance Ministry Member by an existing Ministry Member with whom they are in a developed relationship.
  • Alliance Ministry Members need not carry THMA credentials, we will recognize the current, valid, and verifiable credentials issued by recognized ecclesiastical authorities (Denominations, Ministry Fellowships, Local Churches, etc.).
• Non-sponsored Alliance Ministry Memberships
  • Ministers with credentials but who are not in a developed relationship with an existing Alliance Ministry Member, may indicate their intent to join the Alliance Ministry when applying for Community Membership.
    • THMA Leadership will follow up with that candidate.
  • THMA Leadership will follow up with that candidate to develop qualified sponsorship.
• New Minister Candidate
  • One who seeks ministry credentials may indicate their desire to become ordained or licensed on the Community Application.
    • If qualified, this candidate may then enroll in our Ordination Development Studies.

• General Community Membership is free for all applicants.
• Alliance/Ministry Membership requires a one-time nominal fee.
• Being “Member Supported” means members are asked to financially support THMA on either a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.

THMA is financially supported by first members and then “Partners For Ministry”.

The amount of a member’s financial support is voluntary as are the partner donations. Members are asked to give what they are truly able to give based on what they have and not promises to give what they desire to have – – see: 2 Corinthians 8:12; 9:1-8.

• Some members choose to give tithes.
• Some donate large monthly or annual amounts.
• Others can only give small contributions periodically.

Whatever you give, we simply ask that you make an honest support commitment that is within your means, and that you be faithful to your commitment.

All funds are disbursed over the course of the year to support the purposes of True Hope Ministries. 

• Engagement with connected ministries or ministers
• Establishing & supporting regional ministerial conferences
• Supporting & expanding Christian television ministries
• Administrative/Operational Costs
