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:
“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Vashtar: So it’s finished. A structure to house one man and the greatest treasure of all time.
Senta: And a structure that will last for all time.
Vashtar: Only history will tell that.
Senta: Sire, will he not be remembered?
Vashtar: Yes, he’ll be remembered. The pyramid’ll keep his memory alive. In that he built better than he knew.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
