Network standards.

Church accountability

Members must remain accountable members in good standing of faithful local churches. The Network supplements the local church; it never replaces it.

Doctrine and Gospel

Members must substantially affirm a historic Reformed confession, clearly articulate the biblical Gospel, and uphold RFM’s Mission and Distinctives.

Christian character

Network men should display mature Christian character consistent with 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. Holding church office is not required. Marriage is not required. Men must walk in sexual purity and receive admonition in areas of weakness.

Coordinated ministry

Our common work is open-air preaching, sign evangelism, and Gospel tract distribution. Not every man must preach, but every member joins prepared to serve the mission rather than construct a personal ministry platform.

Leadership and conduct

Members will follow the direction of event point people and administrators, speak truthfully, treat opponents with biblical kindness, avoid needless provocation, and refrain from freelance activity that compromises the coordinated effort.

Confidentiality and safety

Private event locations, security notes, mobile numbers, attendance, and member information must remain within the Network. Members must not publicize coordinated plans without administrative approval.

Scope

The Network exists chiefly to coordinate trusted men across Kentucky, with limited participation from adjacent states when useful. Hostile coordinated outings are not appropriate for women or children.

Accountability

Administrators may admonish, suspend, or remove a member whose doctrine, conduct, church standing, or cooperation no longer meets these standards.
