It is a simple matter to move your letter. You need only to make the request that it be transferred. That is done by speaking to one of the clergy or calling the church office. The transfer then becomes a simple transaction between church offices, and you will be notified when it is completed.
This letter serves as both an invitation and an introduction to your church. Stick to conversational, friendly language and provide a brief summary of your church's history along with an invitation to an upcoming event or gathering. Church welcome letters are for recipients who have attended your church once or twice.
Although Scripture does not contain an explicit command to formally join a local church, the biblical foundation for church membership permeates the New Testament.
Church membership is an excellent way for congregants to get more involved with their church. It's also a great tool for churches to grow and sustain a healthy attendance at each and every service. But many churches don't have a membership program, and it can be tricky to know where to start!
What are the ways that a person can join the church? Profession of Faith and Baptism. This is when a person is making their first public, adult profession of faith in Christ as Lord and Savior. Transfer of Letter. Statement of Christian Experience.

The lay member does this by formally requesting that the pastor of the church to which he or she is transferring ask for the proper letter or certificate of transfer from the former church. When the letter or certificate is sent, the lay person ceases to be a member of the former local church.
