Apply for Membership

NRB has Full and Associate Memberships.  Full Membership is available to all U.S. and international organizations and individuals who use radio, television, digital media, film, streaming, podcasting, and other forms of electronic mass media for the dissemination of the Gospel.  Associate Membership is available to individuals and organizations engaged in services related to the purposes of NRB members, including vendors, suppliers, manufacturers, and publishers. 

Full Company, Individual, and Individual Professional (IPM) members must subscribe to NRB's Statement of Faith and Code of Ethics and agree to Christian arbitration for dispute resolution.  Individual classes of Membership are portable, i.e., the Membership travels with the person and is not tied to a particular Christian media organization.

Full Company, and Individual Memberships allow the NRB Member voice and vote at the NRB Annual Business Meeting. However, if either an Individual Member or an IPM is employed by a Christian organization that is also a Member, the individual has no voice or vote at the Annual Business Meeting, unless the individual has been designated as a delegate by the member organization.

Note that the process for application processing and approval generally takes from 4-6 weeks.

For questions about membership please contact membership@nrb.org. There is a $50 application (non-refundable) fee for all membership application types.
