| Associate
Membership |
 |
Associate Membership is available to churches and
organisations in the UK who are deeply committed to the work of ACEA
but are unable to satisfy the criteria for membership and ACEA Basis
of faith. Each application will be assessed on a case by case basis.
Membership will therefore be discretionary. Those granted this status
will not normally be granted membership of the Evangelical Alliance.
Associate Members will need to abide by the Evangelical Relationships
Commitment.
Membership is considered for approval on a monthly basis by the Executive
Board, subsequent to satisfactory references and completed application.

We encourage members to go beyond this minimum
contribution and look at ways to increase their support on an ongoing
basis. Currently, membership contributes less than 25 per cent of
the overall running cost. Your support will enable us to continue
the ongoing development of ACEA and give us the opportunity to expand
the services we provide.
Paying by Standing Order makes your contribution go much further as
it reduces our administrative cost of sending out numerous reminders.
In addition it enables you church to spread its cost over the period
instead of paying a lump some.
