You can always write a formal letter to your local church board stating your request and the reasons why. Letter withdrawing my forty year membership from my church.I have to write a resignation letter of sorts to officially be voted out as a non-member of the church I was attending. I joined TNPC last month; however, I still need to write the letter officially terminating my membership at my parents' Methodist Church. Withdrawal of membership is a unilateral and unfounded breaking with the church of which one is a member. 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. I have the intention of writing and submitting a letter to the church I was a part of that would basically entail withdrawing my membership. I wish to bring to your attention a matter of personal significance- my decision to end my membership with our church. Thousands and thousands have used this very site for their letters to end their church membership. 1A1, Block 5 of the Park Forest Addition in the City of Forest Hill, Tarrant County, Texas.
