I am writing to request a letter of recommendation and transfer of Membership from Second Christian Church to First Christian Church. If you are joining another church, the pastor will contact your previous church and ask for a letter of transfer.This form should only be filled in after a written request for transfer has been received and the church has voted to allow the person to transfer out. What is the proper protocol for letters of transfer? Often, we can fill them in when we receive the transfer information from your former church. Customizing this Church Membership Transfer Letter is simple with our easy-to-use drag-and-drop builder. If you are joining another church, the pastor will contact your previous church and ask for a letter of transfer. Peter's in the City of Philadelphia. However, if a student does not want this information released, he or she must fill out the Request to Withhold Directory Information form.
