Full membership

 

Persons joining into full membership from other denominations are enrolled in New Members class. Converts are placed on probation under the care of a Class Leader for three (3) months. At the end of that period, if all qualifications for membership are met, they are accepted into full membership. If a person has not been baptized, then he/she will meet with the pastor to undergo baptismal counseling and be baptized before being taken into full membership.(There are three modes of Baptism: Sprinkling, Pouring, and Immersion.)

​

affiliate membership

 

Persons who are members of another AME Church but live far from that Church can join as affiliated members. This allows them all the rights of membership while they also maintain membership in their home Church.

​

Associate Membership

 

Persons who are members of denomination or non-denominational congregations but live far from their home church can join as associate members. In some congregations what we refer to as associate membership is called "watch-care membership." This type of membership is common among college students and armed service personnel at a temporary duty station.

​

Transfer membership

 

Membership can be transferred from one AME Church to another. Persons joining into full membership who are transferring from another AME Church can be received into full membership.
