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. With an individual or family membership, you have one.
Connect All of New Thought
As a member of ANTN, you support us in living our vision of "Connecting the New Thought community through Consciousness and Love." Your membership fees directly assist us in actively living the fundamental tenet of New Thought ... Oneness.
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 of both ANTN centers and centers from other New Thought organizations. And, you are invited to participate in the ministers-only Facebook Discussion Group to share ideas and best practices.

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!
