Become a Network Affiliate.
It’s a first step in our Network becoming part of your story.
Network affiliation is for individuals who
are drawn to our values and way of life,
want to grow in mission and leadership,
and desire to be part of the Greenhouse Network.
How Can We Serve You?
We don’t have everything to give, but if God put something in our hands we believe it’s meant to be given away. If we have it, we want to share it. Becoming a Network Affiliate allows us to see you and share what we have with you.
-
People seeking to follow Jesus on mission and build the city of God in their own city need one another in a way traditional, prevailing models of church can’t always provide. Affiliating brings you into our family on mission where you can participate in Network Hubs and events with people who “get you.” People say it all the time around us: “I don’t feel so crazy anymore!”
-
People wanting to follow Jesus on mission need inspiration and encouragement. Becoming a Network Affiliate means you’ll receive relevant content to keep you going, discounted registration at Network-sponsored events, and invitations to affiliate-only support and celebrations.
-
We need God’s Presence, and it’s our great joy to create space for Him to dwell among us. Network Affiliates have the opportunity to give and share prayer requests with one another, participate in strategic prayer events and fasts, and participate in prophetic huddles.
-
Maybe you have a dream to start something new - a business, non-profit organization, social impact projects, or church plants. We can help with the services provided though The Greenhouse Lab, including upcoming Innovate and Cultivate cohorts for innovators. You don’t have to do this alone.
-
For Network Affiliates, we are often able to provide strategic coaching or spiritual direction in group or individual settings based on your needs.

Individuals. The Greenhouse Network understands its mission to cultivate leaders for the harvest. However, these individuals are often associated with businesses, non-profit organizations, social impact projects, and church plants we sometimes collectively refer to as “missional outposts.” We are very often glad to serve, partner with, pray for, platform, and celebrate these missional outposts.
-
Yes. That’s true for nearly all of us. Stay loyal to the place God has called you. We just want to serve you in that journey.
-
Currently, we can only serve people in our geographic region, although that has included leaders a few hours away from Aliquippa and even across state lines. Contact us if you’d like to talk through this more.
-
Sign Up. You’ll hear from us soon. Attend a Greenhouse Network orientation. Let us celebrate you and introduce you to the Network.
-
No. It means we get to serve you better, but we have no authority over you or your organization. We think every Christian leader should be submitted to someone, and we’ll encourage you to find the person(s) you submit to. But that looks different for different network affiliates. We’re happy to discuss ideas with you about appropriate accountability and submission. As a part of the Network, you will of course demonstrate ongoing shared support of our Network’s values.
-
No. You might just be at the beginning of your leadership journey. You may not even consider yourself a leader yet. Network Affiliation is about shared desires for what the Greenhouse Network also desires. It’s our joy to be with you wherever you are in your leadership journey.
-
No. Our Network leaders covenant around these values and shared beliefs, but we understand you may be on your own journey. We do want you to know, however, that we unapologetically are aspiring to these values and shared beliefs. To be around us is to be around people who really believe and live these particular things. But as part of the Network, you will of course demonstrate ongoing support of our Network’s values.
-
No. The Lab serves many different kinds of people. Many people access Lab services who are not Network Affiliates, but Network Affiliates are more likely to experience our Lab and Network in a fuller, more synergistic way.

Yes, all the time. That’s kind of the point of building a city-within-a-city. We want to make room for everyone. But becoming a Network Affiliate allows us to see you and helps us understand how to serve you. If its helpful, Network Affiliation can provide you with a Christ-Centered community to be a part of.
