Dear Chairman Board of Elders,. I am writing to withdraw my membership from Grace Community Church.I want to assure everyone that I am OK, that I continue to serve in ministry in the Bridgewater COB, and that I was and am prepared to walk this road. 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 the intention of writing and submitting a letter to the church I was a part of that would basically entail withdrawing my membership. Create and write an official letter to announce your departure from a church. Download finished copies as PDFs. Chairman of the Congregational Council. Chairman of the Congregational Council.
