Dear Church Board, I am writing to let you know of my intention to resign as pastor of our church. It has been my great honor and privilege to serve as your pastor for the past __ years, and I am very grateful for the opportunity. During my tenure, I have strived to contribute to the growth and development of our church in whatever way possible. I have been involved in numerous initiatives and programs aimed at improving the spiritual lives of our congregation. I have also been involved in outreach efforts to our local community, and have helped to develop our church's presence online and on social media. While it has been a difficult decision, I feel that it is time for me to move on to other pursuits. I am confident that the church is in good hands, and I am certain that it will continue to thrive and grow under the leadership of the board and the new pastor.

Dear congregation, It is with a heavy heart that I must announce my resignation as your pastor. I have been called to a higher calling…literally. I have been given an offer I cannot refuse to become the new pastor of the Heaven’s Gate megachurch. I want to thank you for all your support over the years. I will never forget the good times we’ve shared together. I will always remember the way you would laugh at my jokes, even though they were terrible. I will miss the way you would sing off-key in church, even though it drove me crazy. I want to assure you that I will continue to pray for you all. I know that you will be in good hands with the new pastor. I am confident that he will be able to lead you to the promised land…or at least get you closer than I did. Once again, thank you for everything. I will never forget you. Sincerely, Pastor
