What action must be taken for a member's name to be removed from the membership roll?

To have a member's name removed from the membership roll, an official transfer request must be submitted. This process is an important administrative action that ensures both clarity and accountability within the church’s records. By requiring an official transfer request, the church maintains a structured method for managing membership changes, reflecting an understanding of the member’s decision and preserving the integrity of the membership roll.

This approach also aligns with the principles of engagement and recognition of personal choice in relation to church membership. It helps to prevent misunderstandings regarding a member's status and promotes a clear, documented process for transitions in membership, thus ensuring that all actions regarding the membership records follow established protocols.
