NOTE: The following termination agreement is a very basic template for churches and pastors to use strictly as a resource. This legal memorandum provides guidance regarding whether, when, and how severance pay may be provided to church employees who are terminated from church.We've created a sample employee termination form for church leaders. I joined TNPC last month; however, I still need to write the letter officially terminating my membership at my parents' Methodist Church. Otherwise specified in the notice, the resignation shall take effect upon receipt thereof, and the acceptance of such resignation shall not be. Then fills out the form keeping the specific problem in mind. The Evangelical Beacon was the official printed magazine and newsletter of the Evangelical Free Church of America.
