Managing Partners
A church, agency or team may engage a OneStory project among a people group by entering into a covenant with the OneStory partnership, indicating:
(a) agreement with OneStory vision and values;
(b) commitment to participationg in the relevant aspects of a OneStory training cycle;
(c) submission of a plan and budget specifying how the goals of the OneStory project are to be achieved and how the managing partner will fund the budget; and
(d) commitment to documenting and archiving the project results with OneStory.
A church, agency or team may propose a OneStory project for which it serves as managing partner. If the managing partner is not one of the five managing OneStory agencies, then one of those five serves as the advocate agency for the project. The managing partner may invite other agencies or individuals into partnership with the project locally.
Proposed covenants for engaging a OneStory project are evaluated and approved by any one of the five OneStory partner agencies. A OneStory Executive Team member (or designee) may approve a OneStory project from that member’s own agency, or be the advocate for approval from a like-minded partnering church, agency or individual. After the proposed covenant is processed, the church, agency or individual becomes the managing partner for the OneStory project. The managing partner manages, staffs and funds the project according to the covenant.
