Stepping Down as HCL

To step down as a House Church Leader at church, follow these simple steps:

  1. Pray for God’s guidance and blessing.
  2. Consult your co-leaders to get their support.
  3. Consult the House Church pastor to discuss next steps and timeline.
  4. Tell your House Church members about your decision and seek their blessing.

This process ensures that everyone involved is respected and included in the transition.

The final step is to remove yourself from the HCL WhatsApp group and say your goodbyes. Most people do this at the end of the term or season.

Sample Message

Hey everyone,

I just want to say how much I’ve enjoyed being part of this group. It’s been a great experience, but I’ll be stepping down as a House Church leader to focus on other things God is leading me toward. Thank you all for your support and friendship. Wishing you the best as you continue on this journey together. God bless!
