FAQ
Unfortunately, it is not an uncommon occurrence for pastors to have to ask a member of the church to leave. As a matter of fact, it is not uncommon for us to receive questions from pastors pertaining to the removal of church members.
There is no biblical record of a pastor leaving one established church to become a pastor of another. This is clearly seen in the starting of new churches. The biblical precedent was for a new church to start without any official leadership.
Let your pastor know the main reasons you are leaving, but do so with humility, love and grace. Be wise and thoughtful about this. Be sure to let your pastor know some of the things you are thankful for regarding your time at your church. I'm sure there are plenty of things you are thankful for.
Set up a time to talk directly to one of the pastors of your church about your leaving. This is a key step in leaving a church well. You don't need to share all of your reasons or rationale, but as a matter of love and courtesy, let your pastor know you and your family have chosen to go to another church.
Here's what your church resignation letter should include: Appropriate salutation. Statement stating your intent to resign. Date of your intended resignation. Reason(s) behind your resignation. Expression of gratitude. Offer of assistance during transition. Sign off.
The best thing to do is to explain the reasons for leaving so that the church is not hurt or mystified as to why you are leaving. You have been part of a body so it is as if an arm is being wrenched off by leaving. Inevitably some people will feel hurt by you leaving so you need to explain well to them.
Churches do not have to tolerate persons who disrupt religious services. Church leaders can ask a court to issue an order barring the disruptive person from the church's premises.
The scripture says to go to the offending party and try to make them see and repent of their sin. If they don't listen, take another believer with you to talk to them, If they still refuse to repent of their offense, they can be asked to leave the church until they do repent before the church leaders.
Communicate respectfully with the pastor about your decision to leave. In doing so, it is appropriate to express appreciation for the things that were received during your time at the church. Express sincere thanks for the pastor's ministry and the church's to you.
