Which term describes the action requiring an official request before transfer can occur?

• A. Transfer
• B. Enrollment
• C. Renewal
• D. Reinstatement

Answer: (A)

The action described is the formal move between affiliations or jurisdictions within CAMS, which is called a transfer. A transfer is initiated by submitting an official request, and only after that request is processed and approved does the transfer take effect. This ensures proper authorization, record-keeping, and alignment with CAMS policies as you shift from one church or ministry context to another.

Enrollment is about starting or joining, not moving; renewal is continuing an existing membership, typically at the same place; reinstatement is restoring membership after a lapse. None of these describe the act of moving to a new affiliation through an official request.
