Seeing a woman in jeans on the platform was very... different.

No, I don't know that they are "members" at all though it's noteworthy that many churches consider anyone who attends regularly voting members if they also make regular financial contributions. This was the case at a couple churches I have attended in the past. We have a more formal membership application though I am not sure how closely it's followed.
Some of the ones I mention are visitors but some are not. If I were guessing perhaps 25% of the ladies in any given service have cut hair, or wear (non-typical upc) jewelry or wear bifurcated garments.
Having said that, it is not endorsed and they would typically not have a leading/teaching role. There are some platform requirements.
You had not originally mentioned that they were on the platform.
