Full membership

People who join into full membership from other denominations are enrolled in the 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

People who are members of another AME Church, who may have relocated, and are unable to attend their home church can join as affiliated members. This allows them all the rights of membership while they also maintain membership at their home Church.

​

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.
