F. Termination
When the pastor feels his or her work is done at a local church, or if the local church feels the pastor’s services are no longer required, the relation may be terminated by either party by written notice at least three months in advance. When possible this should coincide with the pastoral year which ends June 30. When the meeting initiates the termination procedure, the pastor is entitled to a hearing before the Spiritual Life Ministries Committee or before the congregation in business session if so requested.
