Structure
NCMI is not a group of churches, it is simply a team of apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists (Eph 4) who are desiring to help local autonomous churches to grow into all God has for them, subsequently a local church cannot 'join' NCMI. They can however, have relationship with NCMI as a translocal team. When the leadership of a local church chooses to pursue a relationship with NCMI there is no formal membership that they need to sign up for, and no common constitution that has to be adhered to. NCMI believes that its role is to support and help build local church and encourages churches who understand their heart and values, to meet with each other, and learn from each other during the annual Leadership Training Time (LTT) aka Equip conferences organised throughout the world. There are numerous other events in local regions.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled;
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
