HOW TO LEAVE WELL Say farewell. If possible—and this is not always the case—say goodbye to those you know. Don't lead an exodus. Leaving a church and finding a new one can be exciting, particularly after a long struggle. Discuss your transition with the new pastor(s).
Try to leave graciously. Tell the pastor you are leaving. Leave off a ledge. Learn how to kindly and honestly answer the question “Why did you leave?” People will ask you, so figure out your answer. Develop a plan right away for how you will look for a new church. Don't burn bridges.
Set up a time to talk directly to one of the pastors of your church about your leaving. This is a key step in leaving a church well. You don't need to share all of your reasons or rationale, but as a matter of love and courtesy, let your pastor know you and your family have chosen to go to another church.
Leaving a Church With Grace and How to Heal After 1. Pray like crazy. Ask God if He wants you to be the change or if He is releasing you to a different congregation. 2. Talk to someone in church leadership and lovingly tell them you will no longer be attending. 3. Pray for the church you are leaving.
