The newly freed slaves could join any religious church they wished. Before the war they had generally attended church with their masters and sat in a slave section frequently a balcony or they had worshipped in the afternoon. After the Civil War the free blacks generally moved to similar churches. Some of the Methodists remained Methodists but many more became AME. Most of the Southern Baptists joined other Baptist bodies. The newly liberated blacks simply stayed with a familiar religion.

Can you marry in a methodist church if you are not methodist?

The fact is that yes, you can. They are open door to anyone that would like to experience the Methodist church. The Methodist church is welcoming to all types of people, and I can say without a doubt that you will be welcome there. I grew up in the Methodist church, and my grandfather is a retired methodist minister of about 40 years. Also, I have attended many weddings. If your soon to be husband is Methodist, tell him you would like to meet the Minister. All Methodist ministers I have ever met, are very warm and welcoming. I'm sure that a small meet such as this will make you feel SO much more comfortable. Hope this helps! :-)
