There will be times in a church revitalization or replant when you sense from God that it is time to leave. Mark and Thom discuss five steps pastors and other church staff should take to leave a church in a healthy manner.

• Prayerfully make sure you have heard from God clearly about this call away from the church.

• Decide who should be told and in what order and time.

• Use the time to show gratitude and love.

• Don't burn bridges.

• Prepare your successor for success.
