FAQ
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.
A withdrawal is a unilateral and unfounded breaking with the church of which one is a member. One simply resigns, either by telling the ward elders or by writing a letter to the consistory.

3) Communicate. 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.
If someone stops repenting, and rather embraces sin as a lifestyle, the congregation responds. The final step of church discipline is a congregational decision to revoke someone's membership.
So, here are a few thoughts about how to leave a church well, with one bonus thought at the end. Pray about it. Sometimes people leave their church for the right reasons, and sometimes not. Take responsibility. Communicate. Be kind. Go to church somewhere.
