Crosslink Christian Network strongly encourages ministers/key leaders of Crosslink Churches or Ministry organisation to become an Endorsed Minister of the Network. Crosslink Christian Network is registered with the Australian Government as a "denomination" we are able to provide this endorsement so that the status is recognised by the Australian Taxation Office to enable the receipt of professional benefits provided by the Taxation Act.

This is explained in detail in the Explanatory Notes accompanying the Application Form (below). The costs shown below for this recognition reflect the fact that we place a high value on endorsement.
It equates to a professional qualification in other professional spheres (eg. accountants, doctors, lawyers, etc) and carries legal and spiritual responsibilities for the Network as well as financial (tax) benefits for the individual.
