Derek provides practical guidance on leaving a church with grace and integrity:
- Always try to stay and resolve issues first; leaving should be a last resort.
- Communicate: Share your decision with church leaders in person and in writing.
- Leave quickly: Avoid dragging out the process.
- Leave quietly: You don’t owe everyone a detailed explanation.
- Leave graciously: Speak kindly about the church and its leaders.
