MMCA MEMBERSHIP
Membership in MMCA is a way to find encouragement from like-minded laborers in the church. The demands of the ministry areas we serve in can make these roles both challenging and isolating. Having a community of professionals to turn to for advice, counsel, and encouragement is invaluable. Having a community of people who understand your professional struggles is also critical to your longevity in ministry.
Membership in the Metro Media & Communications Association is designed to provide the highest level of benefit to those who are part of the organization. Therefore, membership criteria have been established not to be exclusive, but simply to give the greatest amount of value possible to those who commit their time and travel funds to the organization.
What Members Experience
These past 27 years have brought long-term friendships that have truly been a
blessing. The information I have gathered, the real-life examples of what others are
doing in ministry, and the relationships that have been created are invaluable. I have a great support system in our church, but having a group of people who do what I do and are committed to excellence and to serving the Lord through media has been a resource that has greatly impacted my life and ministry.
TIM MARTIN
I’ve been in my role for 7 years and have never made any connections with guys in similar roles. MMCA has allowed me to connect with people who want to pour into each other and help grow each other not only as Tech or communications people, but as followers of Christ. I love that I have a community who knows exactly what struggles I go through in the role that I serve in. I
