I am so pleased that you chose to visit our web site today. I hope that your visit will do one of three things. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord...and the answer to how you live your life, I pray that you will be led to do so today...

If you are seeking church membership where God's Word is taught, I trust that you will join Allen Temple AME Church. If you are just visiting our site, I pray that you will come back again.

If you would like me to pray for you or someone that you know, please feel free to visit our Prayer Center and submit a Prayer Request. Your request will be sent directly to my personal email in-box.

I would welcome the opportunity to communicate with you, personally, about becoming involved in the fellowship and ministries of Allen Temple AME Church. You can become a member of Allen Temple by coming forward during any worship service when the invitation to Christian Discipleship is extended. You can unite with our church family by...

• Confession of Faith - Persons who express a first time commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and/or being led of the Holy Spirit, desire to unite.

• Affiliate Membership - Persons who are members of other African Methodist Episcopal Churches outside the Greenville SC area, who desire a local church home.

• Associate Membership - Persons who are members of churches of other denominations, who desire a local church home.

• Transfer - Persons who transfer with full membership from another Church to Allen Temple AME Church.

Whichever category you choose, our goal is to have you become a benefiting and contributing member of Allen Temple. Students residing in the local city/area are welcome. Membership Classes are taught Sundays at 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM in Room #2 (New members Training Room) in the Dreher Education Building. If you should have any questions regarding membership, please feel free to contact me at (864) 233-7394 (church) or at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

I am yours and His,
