 | Connecting the New Thought community through Consciousness and Love |
Member BenefitsANTN is a network of support for empowered, Spirit-led, vision-driven, New Thought churches, centers, organizations, independent ministries and individuals. We believe Divine Consciousness is the sole authority and value transformation, connection and community. |
Maximum FreedomANTN
supports organizations’ and individuals’ autonomy. Organizations have
the freedom to decide their bylaws, organizational structure, etc.
Churches and centers have the independence to develop their own
curriculum, license their own lay leaders and Ministers and set
requirements regarding their own members, size, location and focus.
And, there is no restriction on them belonging to any other New Thought
umbrella organization. You Have a VoiceYou
are eligible and strongly encouraged to vote at our Annual Meeting held
each year at our Retreat. As a church, center or organization, you
have two votes and as an independent ministry or individual, you have
one. Global ConnectionMembership
provides a global connection to Independent Ministries and Centers,
which include Senior and staff minister(s), practitioners and
congregants, as well as to New Thought organizations and individuals
with diverse backgrounds. For Center MinistersYou
have a network of ministers and speakers for occasional or long-term
needs. We also provide support in your ministerial search through “open
pulpit” postings. And, you are invited to participate in the
ministers-only Facebook Discussion Group to share ideas and best
practices. E-NewslettersWhile it is our intention never to inundate you with emails, we send out the ANTN News and Information e-newsletter once a month to keep you abreast of ANTN happenings. We also send a separate monthly email inviting you to Thought Leader Thursday. And, on occasion, additional emails may be sent with timely and pertinent information. | Spiritual Nourishment and Inspiration Through RetreatsAnnually, ANTN hosts a multiple-day, in-person as well as virtual Retreat that reflects the evolving spiritual consciousness of our global community.

In addition to the annual in-person Retreat, we host a FREE one-day Virtual Retreat each year filled with inspiration, music, laughter, connection and, of course, prayer.
