Local Churches and ACOP
-
the role of the ACOP Regional Director in a self-governing church is to provide spiritual covering, support, council and equip the lead pastor of that church.
i am not currently familiar with any other partnership agreements.

Their role is to come alongside and help when asked.. based on relationship rather than title, nothing is forced.

The ACOP and regional directors are a support to local churches by providing spiritual covering and resources. Being available for counsel and guidance in situations as needed and by providing the framework for sending missionaries into the field. They even help establish churches by lending their expertise to wade through the paperwork and become a registered charity. Above all, it provides leadership through relationship.

The role of the ACOP and the regional director in a self-governing church is one of relational authority. The involved parties agree to partner together for mutual benefit with the self-governing church knowing that they have an apostolic team, with their best interests in mind, willing to help as needed.
