Resignation and Leaving Policy

For a variety of reasons, members may feel the need to leave i-church.

Should the leaving be temporary, a member need not do anything. A brief PM to the Registrar is suggested so he/she is made aware of the member's absence. In the absence of such notice, inactive members will be contacted periodically to determine if there is a problem. In the event that contact with the inactive member continues to be unsuccessful, membership will be deactivated during regularly scheduled renewal periods.

If a member feels a formal resignation is needed, notice needs to be given to the Registrar. Do expect a pastoral response, which will explore the factors involved in the proposed resignation and allow the member time to reconsider. Should the resignation be confirmed, the member should expect to wait at least a week before the membership is deactivated. During that time, the resigning member may go to "My Controls" and select "Board Settings" to turn off the ability for other members to send PMs to the member, and "Email Settings" to block emails from being sent to the member within the i-church messaging system.

Those who resign and later wish to return to i-church are welcome to apply in the usual way.
