What is a Church in GMDeputation.com?

We do not delineate between Autonomous churches and Daughter Works – both of these are able and encouraged to support missionaries.  However, it is not very common for Preaching Points to be part of the deputation process.  If a DGMD and pastor agree to include a preaching point, however, it is possible to include it also.  Any church that is included in the GMDeputation.com system for scheduling services should be in the position to give an offering to the deputizing missionary and to take on PIMs and to support missionaries on an on-going basis. 

All appointments are created with CHURCHES and not with individual pastors, in the way GMDeputation is set up.  The address of the church is therefore defined as the physical location of the church building where services are held, where the missionary should arrive.  Any PO Box delivery addresses can be included under the Mailing Address in the church add/edit screen.

The primary way to connect a Pastor to a Church is through the USER EDIT screen.  A consideration is being weighed on being able to do this from the CHURCH EDIT screen as well.  If you think this is a good idea, please let us know!
