2016 Wesleyan Discipline:Termination of membership: Reinstatement

5130. After being dismissed from church membership, a former member may be reinstated by the local church which dismissed the member when such a person evidences a genuine repentance and meets the requirements for membership. If the former member is joining another local church, the receiving church should first consult with the dismissing church to make sure that all necessary corrections and restitutions have been cared for properly. If the former member was dismissed by a district or by the General Church, the receiving local church must first secure the approval of the dismissing unit. (See 2 Cor. 2:5–11.)
