The Congress is transitioning from a single-fee membership to three annual tiers — Fellowship, Growth, and Anchor — each with distinct benefits and price points. These tiers are intentionally named to reflect a journey of community, development, and steadfast commitment, and to avoid any perception of classism.
The tiered model is designed to enhance financial sustainability, deepen engagement, and broaden the Association's reach by offering multiple pathways for members. It allows individuals to choose the level of investment and benefits that best match their needs, while giving the Association a more resilient and diversified revenue structure.
"Fellowship" emphasizes inclusive community, "Growth" highlights ongoing development, and "Anchor" represents stability and deeper commitment in a faith-based context. Together, the tiers communicate progression in discipleship and service rather than status differences, keeping the focus on shared mission and Kingdom impact.
