LeavingMembership
Thinking of leaving?
It is fine to change your mind. Before you do, we only want you to know what your membership actually does – and what you are giving up.
Before you decide
Three things your membership carries
Not to pressure you into staying. Only so the choice is an informed one.
- A vote at the annual meetingAs a member you have one vote and can stand for the board yourself. Once you leave, that right goes – immediately.
- The state grant moves with youYou can be registered as a member in one place only. If you leave here, your grant follows you to whichever faith community you are registered with instead – not to the building in Calmeyers gate.
- A place in the communityTeaching, events and activities for children and adults are things members build together. They do not disappear – but they are no longer yours to shape.
Your choice
Whether you stay is not our decision. It never has been
Perhaps you are moving. Perhaps you have found somewhere else to belong. Perhaps it is simply the right thing for you right now. All we ask is that it is a choice you have made deliberately – not a form filled in in a hurry.
Unsure, or would you rather talk to someone first?
