Affiliates

The Open Christian University welcomes affiliation from Christian organisations or Church groups (both incorporated and unincorporated) that wish to fully participate in all aspects of our revival movements, thereby transforming the society or sectors in which they operate.

We welcome applications from the worlds of business, Churches and the public sector as well as from civil society, including co-ops, charities and social enterprises as well as student groups.

As an affiliate, you will automatically:

  1. Have direct access to our research team to discuss the latest data, evidence and research relating to ministry as it affects your areas of interest.
  2. Receive copies of all our publications, in various formats, free of charge.
  3. Be invited to at least one affiliates-only briefing and networking event each year with expert speakers.
  4. Receive priority invitations and free entry to our high-profile events.
  5. Have your logo listed on our affiliates page (which will link to your website when clicked).
  6. Receive a number of our egalitarian badges.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Affiliates can also sponsor different aspects of our work at competitive rates, including our:

  • Newsletter – our informative, regular newsletter goes to thousands of people every month, including many prominent politicians, journalists and policy-makers as well as academics and commentators.
  • Reports – our well-respected reports on issues relating to inequality also go to our entire mailing list as well as being transmitted to our growing social media following. Our reports receive regular and widespread press and media attention across print and digital formats.
  • Website – our website typically receives over 5000 views a month from over 2000 users. Our affiliates can sponsor our entire website or sections of it such as the influential and widely read “Open Christian Fund” section or our popular Adhengo Institute section.
  • Events – our flagship events House Church Planting (summer) and Annual Conference (autumn) as well as other opportunities throughout the year are available for sponsorship. We very much welcome discussions around sponsored donation of venues or services in relation to events.

Partnership Opportunities

For those affiliates seeking a more in-depth relationship, we welcome discussions around the sponsorship of staff positions to produce original research into particular areas of interest relating to ministry. We can also provide affiliates with bespoke education and training on matters relating to chaplaincy, Christian entrepreneurship and management for your staff, members or other stakeholders. We can also provide speakers for your events, including our Country Director and the chaplaincy team. These services will be provided at a competitive cost to suit your budget.

If you want to join our revival movement for a Spirit Filled and Christened society by affiliating your organisation with us, we would love to hear from you.
