Membership Rates for 2025
Several changes to RCC membership will become effective as of January 1, 2025. However, the same great member resources and benefits remain, including networking with other faith-based communications professionals, monthly educational programming, our annual convention and more!
According to Teresa Faust, chair of RCC’s Board, “It has been several years since we’ve had to increase our membership fees. The Board of Governors researched similar associations and RCC was much lower than the average. We believe that even with these small increases, we are able to continue providing an excellent value for our members.”
As approved by the Board of Governors at their July 2024 meeting, rates for the one-year membership will increase slightly for several categories of members as follows:
| Level | Current | As of Jan. 1, 2025 |
| Professional membership: | 110 | 160 |
| Associate membership: | 90 | 110 |
| New professional membership: | 45 | 60 |
| Student membership: | 30 | 50 |
| There are no increases planned for the categories of retired, life and sustaining members. |
The increases will be included in the renewal emails that will sent to members in the fall. If you have questions, please email RCC Executive Director Ginny Hizer.
