Step 3: Remove

  1. Click the menu (three dots) next to their name
  2. Select "Remove from Church"
  3. Confirm the removal

What Happens After Removal

Their Data

  • Prayer requests they submitted remain visible
  • Attribution may show their name or "Former Member"
  • Their prayer counts on others' requests remain

Their Access

  • They immediately lose access to your church's prayer wall
  • They're logged out of the dashboard
  • They cannot submit new requests under your church

Their Account

  • Their PrayerConnect account still exists
  • They can join other churches
  • They keep access to other churches they belong to

Before Removing

Consider the Alternatives

SituationAlternative to Removal
Taking a breakChange role to Member

Ask Yourself

  • Have you communicated with them?
  • Does anyone need to know about this change?
  • Are there any handoffs needed?

Removing Admins

Special considerations:

  • You cannot remove yourself
  • At least one admin must remain
  • Another admin must perform the removal

Reinviting Someone

If someone was removed and needs to return:

  1. Send a new invitation
  2. They'll need to accept again
  3. Their previous requests aren't relinked automatically

Audit Trail

All removals are logged:

  • Who was removed
  • Who performed the removal
  • When it happened
Access this at Settings → Audit Log (admin only).

Handling Sensitive Situations

For staff terminations or sensitive departures:

  1. Remove access first
  2. Communicate appropriately
  3. Audit their recent activity if needed
  4. Update any shared responsibilities
