Membership Tiers
Ministry member categories are designed for entry-level pre-accredited child/youth serving ministries. After an organization attains accreditation status, they are “graduated” out of this membership type and into a new and public membership status. These membership types are designed to serve and support organizations that either want to benefit from ECAP membership and tap into resources from ECAP or Affiliates. Accreditation is not required for these “private” organizations but we hope to encourage them towards compliance.
Note: Member ministries must affirm ECAP’s Statement of Faith or not hold views contrary and must directly provide programs for children/youth.
Standard Membership

Small to mid-sized organizations that serve children/youth. These organizations range in size, scope, and complexity. This membership type is a good entry-level membership option for ministries that plan to DIY in building their child protection program. This is a good membership type for organizations that plan to take several years in working toward accreditation.
Premium Membership
