- Persons 18 years of age or older, who are in agreement with the foundational principles set forth in Article III, and who contribute the current annual membership fee are eligible for membership in the Corporation.
- All persons who are eligible for membership and who desire to be members of the Corporation must make written application for membership. The board shall review all applications and accept or reject the application according to the principles set forth in this article. The annual membership fee shall be included with the application. If the application is rejected, the fee will be returned.
- A sustaining membership fee shall be due at the beginning of each calendar year and will cover only the calendar year in which it is paid. Membership fees shall be used for administration and promotion of the organization and not for curriculum and other school related expenses. Failure to pay the annual fee will result in loss of membership. The annual fee will be set by the Board of Directors.
- At least one parent or guardian of each child attending Cary Christian School must be a member of the Corporation.
- Members of the Corporation have the privilege of voting on all matters that are presented to the membership, such as the election of Board members, constitutional changes, and budgetary and financial matters. Members receive one vote in corporate matters. Members may also be nominated for election to the Board and appointed by the Board to serve on its committees.
- Revocation of membership shall occur by failure to pay dues or if an individual is no longer able to, or found not to, subscribe to the foundational principles outlined in Article III.
