Encouraging & equipping pastors

At its core, the word inspire means “to instill in someone the motivation, enthusiasm, and courage to do better things and achieve more.”

Using the word inspire is intended to help remind our members to not only receive encouragement from our leadership and regional shepherds, but to inspire and encourage one another as we serve together to honor God. The word inspire is also a commitment to provide the very best tools possible to help quip pastors as they lead and train others for ministry.

“Becoming Family: The Charis Alliance Story”

Discover the remarkable journey of how thousands of autonomous churches across more than twenty countries learned to become a thriving global family. This compelling narrative chronicles the birth and development of The Charis Alliance, a worldwide movement that traces its roots back to eight believers who formed a New Testament church in Germany in 1708.

Written by Dave Guiles, the Alliance's first International Coordinator, this book offers an insider's perspective on how scattered churches evolved from independence to biblical interdependence. Through six major international forums spanning from 1994 to 2023, readers witness the "crawling, walking, and running" phases of building a truly global Christian movement.
