Dear Chairman Board of Elders,. I am writing to withdraw my membership from Grace Community Church.If you are joining another church, the pastor will contact your previous church and ask for a letter of transfer. Contact the local church where you attended or were baptized. Membership is controlled at the local level. "Transferring your letter" is more of a perfunctory act between churches who are merely shuffling members as though they are numbers on a score board. "It is imperative that we invite the entire congregation up to the same level of ministry as the clergy. We must restore the ordinary believer's dignity. Some have concluded that a church member needs permission from the elders to leave a church. During my lifetime, I've been a member of multiple OPC and PCA churches.
