Termination of Membership. a. Letter of Dismissal.I joined TNPC last month; however, I still need to write the letter officially terminating my membership at my parents' Methodist Church. You are allowed to resign from a church whenever you wish to do so, no matter what your covenant, church constitution or designated church leader says. Riverside Church is an interdenominational church in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, United States. This letter is my formal resignation from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it is effective immediately.

At Riverside, membership is more than a title, the right to vote on church business, or to serve as a lay leader. It is about responding to God's call.
