Transfer of your Membership from a Denomination That
Will Not Accept Transfer Across Denominational Lines.

Since you are already Baptized and confirmed, these steps will NOT be repeated. You will be asked to take one vow taken by all members of the United Methodist Church.  "Will you be loyal to the United Methodist Church and uphold it by your prayers, your presence , your gifts, and your service?"

How to  "Join" Without "Joining"
If you are a United Methodist whose membership is in another city or state and you wish to retain membership in your "home" church, you can become an Affiliate Member of Chestnut Street United Methodist Church. This grants you pastoral oversight, fellowship, and participation at Chestnut Street.  You will not be counted on Chestnut Street's membership roll, but at that of your "home" church.  We will write your "home" church to inform them of your affiliate status at Chestnut Street United Methodist Church.
 
Members of other Christian denominations may elect to become Associate Members under the same conditions,
