Each GACX member organization has made a shared commitment: to use its influence, people, and resources to advance a healthy, sustainable, and multiplying church for every 1,000 people around the world. When we welcome an organization into membership, it has met GACX's Membership Requirements and embraced GACX's Framework and Posture. GACX membership reflects shared vision and theological agreement. Membership is not an accreditation, certification, or endorsement of a member organization’s programs or practices. Members acknowledge collaboration as fundamental to God’s design, and are willing to connect, share, learn, and partner with others toward a vision bigger than any one organization, church, or denomination.
Implementer organizations are directly involved in planting and multiplying churches.
Accelerator organizations are involved in resourcing church multiplication through prayer, training, tools, community development, research, finances, networking and other means.
