If you are joining another church, the pastor will contact your previous church and ask for a letter of transfer. So the church I wanted to join requires a home visit in order to become a member, I ended up having to withdraw my application.I am looking for some advice on how to resign my membership at my church, on good terms, but still occasionally attend. Several people have recently indicated they became church members. Your friend CAN carry with permission from the pastor. He doesn't need written permission, it's just a CYA thing that's great to have. A staff member will email you as quickly as possible with the reset. Here are a few new church member letter templates. Pastoring a church in the Bible Belt has exposed me to some interesting cultural experiences. Wish more guests filled out your connection cards?
