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.
Making the Decision Begin with prayer. Seek Wise Counsel. Here are questions to ask yourself—or someone you trust—as you work through your decision: Write it out. Meditate. Leave slowly. Make it your goal not to respond in kind. Be prepared to process some emotions.
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.
It may be appropriate to write out a calm, objective, scripturally annotated letter explaining your reasons for leaving, and mail or hand deliver copies of it to the appropriate people. You might need to talk to the denominational leadership board or organization that oversees your church.

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.

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.
Tell the truth, but speak it in the manner you would want the church to speak about you. Develop a plan right away for how you will look for a new church. It may take you some time to settle in a new place, but start working on your plan right away.
