What if I Do Leave? Talk to your pastor about it first. Don't wait until your mind is made up and then just inform them you're going. If you do decide to leave, tell your pastor, rather than just vanish. Once you've left your current church, find a new church, quickly.
Here are some specific steps you can take. Build a supportive community. A strong, supportive community is often the cornerstone of church growth and the reason why many people love to come back. Create a targeted communications plan. Encourage church membership. Make it easy to get involved. Recognize and celebrate members.
A Church Membership Certificate is a document that is used to certify and verify the membership of one of your church associates. This is proof that this specific individual is a member of the church group. This document can be used in officially recognizing and honoring a member of the church group.
1. A church member asks the pastor or church clerk of the church they want to transfer to (the receiving church) to transfer their membership from the church it is currently at.
The lay member does this by formally requesting that the pastor of the church to which he or she is transferring ask for the proper letter or certificate of transfer from the former church. When the letter or certificate is sent, the lay person ceases to be a member of the former local church.
A “Letter of Transfer” form is helpful when transferring membership from one congregation to another congregation. Parishioner submits request to their church office (of current congregation) to transfer membership to new congregation.
