The core values and fundamental truths we believe in are:

1. Apostolic Order

A. Pastors: Every pastor or ministry leader needs a mentor and a spiritual covering. DNI seeks to provide this spiritual covering by giving protection, identity, and support. DNI seeks to minister to pastors to see each one enabled, empowered, and released in the purposes of God. We look to Tony Miller as the primary apostle, mentor, and spiritual authority of our network. An appointed Apostolic Council will assist him in serving and ministering.

B. Churches: We are an apostolic network of churches. Although each local church remains autonomous in its government, we believe that there is strength in unity. Together we can be more effective than by working alone. We therefore cooperate together by sharing resources and giftings.

2. Covenant Relationships

A covenant relationship with one another is what brings us together. We are committed to encouraging one another to be all that God has called each one of us to be. We demonstrate this covenant relationship by coming together regularly for fellowship and prayer, and by regularly contributing financial resources to DNI.

3. The Presence of God

Worship is a high priority for us, and is a primary basis for unity. We believe in the moving of the Holy Spirit, the operation of the Gifts of the Spirit, and the power of prayer. We therefore come together as pastors and ministry leaders for praise and worship, communion, and prayer for one another.

4. World Harvest

We believe we are under divine mandate to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. We do this by initiating, financing, and coordinating various events in cross-cultural ministry opportunities.
