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. Got my membership withdrawal letter. NOTE TO MEMBER: The church requires a signed request from each person requesting withdrawal. This form should be given to your pastor for processing. You are allowed to resign from a church whenever you wish to do so, no matter what your covenant, church constitution or designated church leader says. I have the intention of writing and submitting a letter to the church I was a part of that would basically entail withdrawing my membership. By completing this form, I am requesting that my membership at Woodlawn Church be withdrawn. When any member requests a letter of withdrawal, the pastor and local church secretary shall grant it on the proper form provided in 6040.
