Member Benefits

ACCESS exists in part to expand our reach to include all forms of distance and nontraditional forms of education. As Christians we need to be more intentional about expanding our reach locally, nationally, and internationally. One of our responsibilities as Christians is to be co-missioners with Christ in the mission of the church.
ACCESS is a member-driven organization. By becoming a supporting member, you have ACCESS to host of resources – and we’re continually developing more.
Consider Joining! Applying for membership is convenient and easy. You can apply  online or download a printable document.  If you have questions about ACCESS, or would like additional information, please contact us .
