2016 Wesleyan Discipline: 4790

4790. An existing local church that joins The Wesleyan Church with church facilities and/or other properties deeded in the name of their church will have up to ten years to transfer all properties into the name of The Wesleyan Church. At the time of the transfer, all written instruments of conveyance by which property is held shall contain the trust clause in 2016 Wesleyan Discipline:4610. If, during this ten-year period of time, the church acquires property or borrows funds needing a loan guarantee from their district, the church will at that time transfer all properties into the name of The Wesleyan Church, and all written instruments of conveyance by which property is held shall contain the trust clause. If the church fails to transfer all properties (containing the trust clause) into The Wesleyan Church within the ten-year period of time, the church’s relationship with The Wesleyan Church would be subject to review.
