Dear Chairman Board of Elders,. I am writing to withdraw my membership from Grace Community Church.Write a long, nasty, mean-spirited letter to explain everything that they dislike about the church and articulate their own self-pity at length. Send a letter requesting removal, the board will have to vote on it and they usually require an official request. I wish to bring to your attention a matter of personal significance- my decision to end my membership with our church. Below, we'll take a look at some of the options available and two sample letters to remove a board member.
