Affiliate Levels and Partnership Options

Crossroads International Bible College recognises different levels of Affiliate relationship. Each Affiliate is approved according to their ministry purpose, and the level of study they are authorised to undertake.

This structure allows churches and ministries to partner with the College in a way that is suitable to their training needs.

Affiliate Level 1 - Resource Affiliate

A Resource Affiliate is approved to access and use selected Bible teaching resources provided by Crossroads International Bible College.

This may include access to the available teaching booklets, Level 1 studies, and the Foundation Teaching Course, as approved by the College.

This level is suitable for churches, ministries, Pastors, leaders, Bible study groups, and discipleship ministries that desire solid Biblical teaching material for local church training, foundational Christian instruction, and the spiritual strengthening of Believers.

Resource Affiliates may use approved materials for discipleship, group teaching, personal study, and local church instruction.

A Resource Affiliate is not automatically approved to offer the full Bible College curriculum, or the Advanced Diploma pathway unless further written approval is granted by Crossroads International Bible College. A Resource Affiliate is also not authorised to alter, rewrite, shorten, expand, rebrand, or restructure any official College study material.

Affiliate Level 2 - Special Approval Affiliate

A Special Approval Affiliate is approved to offer selected courses, as specifically authorised by Crossroads International Bible College.

This level allows the College to approve a church, ministry or training group, for a particular part of the curriculum.

A Special Approval Affiliate may be approved for one or more selected levels of study, but is not automatically authorised to offer the complete Bible College curriculum. A Special Approval Affiliate must use any approved study material only in the official form supplied by the College unless written approval is granted.

This level provides flexibility where a ministry may be well suited to offer certain studies, but not yet approved or equipped to operate as a Full College Affiliate.

Affiliate Level 3 - Full College Affiliate

A Full College Affiliate is approved to offer the full Crossroads International Bible College curriculum, subject to College requirements and ongoing oversight. This approval authorises delivery and supervision of the curriculum; it does not authorise the Affiliate to change, rewrite, shorten, expand, restructure, rebrand, or doctrinally modify any part of the official College curriculum.

This may include access to all approved teaching resources, included in the Advanced Diploma pathway.

This level is suitable for churches and ministries who are doctrinally aligned with Crossroads International Bible College and able to provide suitable oversight, student support, and ministry accountability.

Full College Affiliates operate under the requirements, standards, and ongoing oversight of Crossroads International Bible College.

Purpose of the Affiliate Structure

The purpose of these affiliate levels is to provide clear and orderly pathways for partnership, while ensuring that each affiliate operates within the area of responsibility for which they have been approved.

This protects the integrity of the curriculum, supports the students, assists local churches and ministries, and helps maintain sound biblical and doctrinal standards across all areas of training.

Crossroads International Bible College desires to work with faithful churches and ministries who share a heart for biblical truth, discipleship, spiritual growth, and the equipping of believers for Christian life and ministry.

Applying to Become an Affiliate

Churches, ministries, pastors, leaders, or training groups who desire to become affiliated with Crossroads International Bible College may apply for consideration.

Each application will be reviewed according to the ministry’s purpose, doctrinal agreement, leadership capacity, administrative readiness, and the level of study being requested.

Approval as an affiliate is granted by Crossroads International Bible College according to the appropriate affiliate level.
