Membership fees

Membership is open to anyone who wishes to support the work of the IDC through their membership, regardless of whether they are deacons themselves. Individual membership may also apply to a married couple, for example a deacon and his wife. However, in this case, the couple has only one joint vote in votes taken at the General Assembly.

Corporations and dioceses may arrange membership on separate terms. In the case of dioceses, this means that for the duration of the diocesan membership, all deacons of the diocese are automatically members of the IDC. If you are interested, please contact our office.

Our membership fees are divided into four tiers, and the respective tier is agreed individually for each country with regional contacts, taking into account the country’s economic strength and exchange rates.
