Who we are
There is presently a greater sense of need than ever for ministers and church leaders to be vitally and meaningfully connected with others of similar heart and vision. GAN is a family network of ministerial leaders, churches, and ministries. We embrace the value of developing and maintaining meaningful relational connections of fellowship and accountability while fulfilling our respective God-given, Kingdom-advancing mandates.
History
Global Alliance Networks was birthed as Liberty Fellowship in 1974 for the purpose of providing practical and spiritual apostolic oversight for ministers and ministries. Founding Apostle, Ken Sumrall, and the original Presbytery continued pursuing this vision, honoring the value of relational connection enhanced through regular fellowship and voluntary accountability. This affiliation was initially established among ministers being trained and commissioned through Liberty Church and Liberty Bible College in Pensacola, Florida. Through the years, other leaders and churches who embrace this value have chosen to identify with the Global Alliance Networks family of churches and ministers.
Vision
We are a nurturing and equipping network of global leaders for the purpose of promoting God’s Kingdom in the earth and establishing beneficial relationships among our members.
Our Values
These primary values dictate how we behave with one another, walk in relationship with God, and relate with the world around us.
PASSION
Global Alliance Networks believes passion results in a kindled soul that compels us to act.
Passion brings a desire to see the invisible become visible.
God desires for us to be filled with passion for Him in order to minister with a passionate Christ-centered, Spirit-led ministry.
With passion, our beliefs are cultivated into a hope for a better future.
