Abstract

Boot Camp: A Basic Membership Training Program was a ministry project proposed and developed for the members of the Saint John African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME) of Birmingham, Alabama. The project's scope was to lead parishioners in a survey of the AME Church's doctrines, discipline, and membership responsibility. Participants were engaged through a series of eight seminars, four sermons, and a retreat. They averaged fifty-minutes in eight seminars, twenty-five minutes listening to four sermons, and forty-five minute sessions in the one half-day retreat. Evaluation instruments were administered for assessing the project director's effectiveness, participants' retention, and value of the material. The goal was for members to discover the worth of the AME Church in view of the benefit they received from its beliefs, identity, and function.
