Nathan Morton Announces he's Leaving UPC
 

the son of Elder Vaughn Morton,Pastor Nathan Morton, is also leaving the UPC. he is a pastor in Chico,CA.

I got 2 emails when i got home tonight stating the same thing

Secret Warrior,

Here's what i was told- A couple of weeks ago they had a private church board meeting and they changed their name from "Truth Tabernacle of Chico" to "Truth Church". This is usually the first step to disaffiliate from the section so that when the pastor gives up his UPC license he will be able to remain there..... Is it not ???

An affiliated church MUST have the words "United Pentecostal Church" somewhere on the sign... I do not believe there are any other stipulations/requirements when it comes to naming. I assume that the name would need to be removed if the church was disaffiliated... and obviously the church must be disaffiliated before the pastor could drop his creds so that he doesn't lose the church (or at least the building)... might be funny if the UPC tried to force the issue on someone and they said, Fine, here's the empty building, the keys and the mortgage coupon booklet, the people have decided to come with me. lol.

What would happen if the district denied the dissaffiliation request. I think they should. Then people like CC in ONtario would have to really get out and find his own Church and not use the one that was given to him by the UPCI.

No suprise the NM is getting out as well. IF pappa is getting out he has to follow suit.

If the church follows the preceedure to disaffiliate:

Call a business meeting--announcing it 3 times in ten days...

Invite the district officials (usually the super and preby) to be there and speak....

Vote on it with the district officials overseeing the vote....

Majority wins yea or nay....

Then it cannot be denied...disaffiliation is the choice of the voting members of the church ...not the district or organizaton....

C-ya! :wave
