Sacred ConnectionsThe SACRED Connections Program supports ANTN members in times of celebrations and joy as well as in times of challenges and loss. In addition, its purpose is to create deep connections among the membership, to ensure our members know we are here for them and to put ANTN’s vision of Connection and Love into real-world action.
These intentions are brought to life by a dedicated team of volunteers who connect with the membership through cards, calls, texts, prayers... all at the level desired by the member receiving care. Click here for more details of this member benefit.

What Members Have to Say about ESP
Receiving the gift of tech support through the Extraordinary Support Project as a church has given us
leverage to reach our congregation and an audience further than we ever expected. Our upgraded
systems and our tech savviness have increased giving us much wider access. We are also experiencing a
much stronger sense of our competency and our ability to translate what it is we are doing in our
organization and in our services to a greater number of people beyond our walls. We are so deeply
grateful to receive this support, and we know that it is taking us to the places we really want to go
technically, professionally, and with our message of Love.
I am currently receiving one-on-one mentoring through ANTN’s ESP. I have been able to bring my whole
self as a minister to these mentoring conversations, to be seen fully in those things with which I am
grappling and to be witnessed, advised, heard and prayed into answers that are astonishing, forward
thinking, embracing of all and blessing the process. These meetings are nothing short of empowering
and substantially worthwhile for every aspect of my ministry, bringing me to see them as priceless on
the journey to my spiritual maturity as a minister. Thank you, ANTN, for this program.
I just wanted to reach out to acknowledge the amazing generosity of ANTN's Extraordinary Support Project. I applied for a grant to help me check off one of the events at the top of my bucket list (Parliament of World Religions), and not only did I receive a positive response, but I received it within 12 hours of submitting my application! I know that ANTN holds as one of its highest goals the support of its members, and this is clearly proof that at ANTN, our job is to make “Yes!” happen. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
