You can always write a formal letter to your local church board stating your request and the reasons why. Dear Chairman Board of Elders,.I am writing to withdraw my membership from Grace Community Church. I am looking for some advice on how to resign my membership at my church, on good terms, but still occasionally attend. In the case of a withdrawal a simple announcement that someone has withdrawn from the church should suffice. Keep it short and to the point. I have found some churches deny the withdrawal of membership while under church discipline. Dealing with withdrawals is one of those difficult issues that eventually every consistory faces. Customizing this Church Membership Transfer Letter is simple with our easy-to-use drag-and-drop builder.
