Becoming an associate member

We’re excited by every 500-750 word testimony submitted to the CWC by someone that wants to become a member. Taking the time to write about your relationship with Jesus automatically reveals a heart anxious to serve Him. However, a person’s written testimony can also reveal a need for further development of their spiritual life and/or writing skills.

The purpose of Associate Membership is to give people that are young chronologically and/or spiritually, the time, tools, and discipleship, they need to mature in Christ and as a writer.

The application process for both Associate and Standard Membership starts when a person submits their 500-750 word testimony to the CWC. If we decide that someone’s testimony makes them a great candidate for Associate Membership, they will be offered the opportunity to be paired with an more mature writer to serve as their mentor.

Some important differences between a Standard Membership and an Associate Membership include:

• 1. Associate Members (AM) will be admitted to the CWC for one year free of the Initial Membership Fee
• 2. AM's will receive 1/2 of 1% as their royalty. The other half will be paid to the Standard Member that serves as their mentor
• 3. After one year as an Associate Member, it will be the CWC’s option to...

                    a. Offer the individual one year as a Standard Member

                    b. Renew their membership as an Associate for 1 to 12 months

                    c. End the Associate’s Membership legal relationship to the CWC, but 

                        not necessarily the personal relationship(s) that have developed 

                        during their time as an Associate Member

In addition to making it possible for Associate Members to join the CWC free of charge, this 2nd type of membership makes it possible for Standard Members to earn 1.5% of CWC profits each year. They'll earn 1.5% by spending 1 or 2 hours each week helping an Associate Member to mature spiritually and as a writer, in addition to their contracted hours as a Standard Member.
