Cooperative Ministry may be defined as:

“Several congregations in a particular geographical area, at times known as a
parish, that covenant together to envision that area as the place in which Christ is
calling them to cooperatively plan and engage in ministry and mission. While each
congregation maintains its own session or board, the covenant requires the
participating congregations to share ideas, energies, leadership, and resources.
The goal of cooperative ministry/parish is to maximize and focus the ministry of
the participating congregations. It is a way to enliven congregations and allow them
to move from and an attitude of surviving to one of thriving.”
