Dear Chairman Board of Elders,. I am writing to withdraw my membership from Grace Community Church."I am no longer a member of this church. I do not need your permission, nor do I care whether or not you agree with my decision. "Signed,. The Church Conference will consider and vote on a resolution to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church. Letters of resignation should be presented to the board, which will forward them to a business meeting. Out of Christian consideration for the individuals. Write a long, nasty, mean-spirited letter to explain everything that they dislike about the church and articulate their own self-pity at length. I have found some churches deny the withdrawal of membership while under church discipline. 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.
