A wide variety of psychological interests and activities exist among the members of the division. Members work in virtually every area, from experimental and statistical research to pastoral care and counseling. Many members do research exclusively on issues in the psychology of religion and spirituality; others bring this interest to bear on a variety of allied areas in psychology. 

Membership includes access to the division newsletter, a network of professionals, and opportunities to participate in events. Members will be invited to attend the annual Division gathering and given unique opportunities to present and network at the all-APA conference. Members will also receive the division's official journal , Psychology of Religion and Spirituality, and be invited to contribute to it.
