Join CEEP

It’s easy to join the Consortium.  Just apply for membership, choose the dues category your parish belongs in, tell us the name of your church along with the city and state, and let us know when you plan to pay your dues (i.e. quarterly, monthly, once a year during the month of _________, etc.).  Then email the form to ccannon@endowedparishes.org; fax it to 512-610-3585, or mail it (with check enclosed if you wish) to The Consortium, 304 E. 7th Street, Austin, TX, 78737.  If you would like to discuss anything at all around dues categories, call the Consortium office at 512-610-3580 – we’d be delighted to help you figure out any issues you may have.
