What is included in an annual membership?
Membership in the CRS includes subscriptions to both the Creation Research Society Quarterly (CRSQ; 4 issues per year) and the Creation Matters popular publication (usually bimonthly). All memberships begin with the first issue (Summer) of the current volume of the CRSQ and continue through the fourth issue (Spring). Those who join after the publication of the Summer issue, and prior to the publication of the Spring issue the following year, will receive all back issues of the current volume. Members also receive exclusive online access to the latest publications, and to all past CRSQ Journal issues that are not available to the public. Access is also available to CRSnet, an email reflector for discussing origins-related topics among members. Members also receive significant discount pricing for the CRS annual conference and for the online store. Browse the store to see the savings you will get off the regular price.
