Communicate Personally and Respectfully Before you write a resignation letter, it's important to communicate your decision personally and respectfully to the leader or pastor you report to. Explain your reasons honestly but kindly, emphasizing that this decision is about what's best for both you and the church.
At the end of your resignation letter, include a sign-off such as "Peace be with you," followed by your full name and current position with the church.
You want to give at least a two weeks' notice. You want to share a statement of intent, an expression of gratitude, and then offer up any sort of assistance that you can provide with the transition. Use a formal business format for the actual letter itself.
We want to send a quick text or email saying, “Adios” or, even more common, just disappear into the wind. Communicating that you are transitioning away gives clarity, even if it's a hard conversation, and also allows for healthy discussion on why you might be leaving.
