Dear Chairman Board of Elders,. I am writing to withdraw my membership from Grace Community Church.If you are joining another church, the pastor will contact your previous church and ask for a letter of transfer. Contact the local church where you attended or were baptized. Membership is controlled at the local level. "Transferring your letter" is more of a perfunctory act between churches who are merely shuffling members as though they are numbers on a score board. Tim Stier served for decades as a priest in the diocese of Oakland CA. He sent this letter on May 31, 2022. I joined TNPC last month; however, I still need to write the letter officially terminating my membership at my parents' Methodist Church. Awana equips local volunteers in churches around the world with biblical discipleship solutions. Our programs serve kids ages 2 through 18.
