Did you Know...That Many Large Churches in the UPC aren't...
 

affiliated and Ordain their own Minsters???

In other words the Ministry in the church is Ordained thru the Church's Corporation....

Yes I knew that

whats the point of this Rev?

Just that those who leave have their own ministry structure already in motion and the UPC while a fellowship is not necessarily needed for that type of support....

It's interesting how many may not know these things...

The general distrust of the organization has been growing for years.

Calvary Tabernacle has never been affiliated.

I think that's a good thing. Don't you?

I don't have a prob with it...at all...

When I came to the Cincinnati area in 1957 I attended the First Apostolic Church. Our pastor was Bro. Frank Curts. He was the Ohio Dist. Supt. but his church was not affiliated.

It's not just large churches.
I have a friend who pastors a church which is named Christ Community. They have around 50 or so. He is independent and he told me they ordain their own people.
