There are five stages in the membership journey, as follows:

• You complete the application, submit the supporting documentation and pay the $100 application fee.
• You have a phone interview with a staff member or representative from The Mission Exchange.
• Based on the approval of the The Mission Exchange board, you are granted Candidate Member status and invoiced for the appropriate dues or assessments.
• You engage in an organizational self evaluation project using The Mission Exchange's Membership Self Study document along with a site visit by a staff member or representative of The Mission Exchange.
• Based on approval from the The Mission Exchange board, you are granted full membership.

Unlike membership, the affiliate relationship does not include credentialing. To become an affiliate you are asked to agree with the National Association of Evangelicals statement of faith and affirm the vision, mission and core values of The Mission Exchange. You can become an affiliate in a few minutes. The annual fee is $99 per person; for volume discounts of 10 or more from the same organization call 770-457-6677 or click here to email us.

The biggest variable affecting the membership timeline is your ability to complete the Self Study project. Your Candidate membership status can last up to three years while you complete the Self Study but the entire five steps can be completed in six months to a year.

Annual dues are $1,200 plus an assessment that is calculated by the size of your budget (if you are a support agency) or the number of missionaries (if you are a sending agency). Dues and assessments are invoiced annually in January; payments can be made quarterly.
