The Christian Holiness Partnership is an international organization of individuals, organizational and denominational affiliates within the holiness movement. It was founded under the leadership of Rev. John Swanel Inskip in 1867 as the National Camp Meeting Association for Christian Holiness, later changing its name to the National Holiness Association, by which it was known until 1997, when its current name was adopted. Its stated purpose is to promote "the message of scriptural holiness" primarily through evangelistic camp meetings. The Christian Holiness Partnership is headquartered in Clinton, Tennessee. [1]
The Christian Holiness Partnership facilitates cooperative efforts among denominations, camp meetings, institutions such as colleges, seminaries, missionary agencies and publishing houses, and individuals.
Its membership includes twenty-one denominations, three missionary agencies, forty-eight colleges and seminaries, six publishing houses, two thousand camp meetings, and individual local churches.[1]
The last known website for the organization is holiness.org as captured by Internet Archive on October, 18. 2001. The site documented both Dr. Marlin Hotle (editor of the Holiness Digest and the District Superintendent of the Tennessee District of The Wesleyan Church) as the Executive Director of the Christian Holiness Partnership and the Partnership Press as publisher for the CHP.
