Define Apostolic.

Re: Largest apostolic church in the U.S.?
If you mean oneness it would/was be Arthur M. Brazier or Noel Jones by a long shot compared the anything in the UPCI.
If you want to count T.D. Jakes he would be the winner in that case.

Which the answer is "Depends on how tight the circle you want to draw is?"
How are you defining Apostolic?

Re: Largest apostolic church in the U.S.?
Do I really have to define apostolic? Those that still hold on to the holiness standards and core beliefs of the upc/wpf. May be even independent like the Bro. Holmes NLR.

Well if you tighten the circle down to that criteria, its Haney and CLC for the win.
The largest in the world is the Jesus Miracle Crusade in Manilla, Phillipines with Bishop Almeda. 40-50k in attendance weekly. They hold to standards and teaching, but dislike the UPCI missionaries for the most part due to some past stuff.
If you went by fastest increase in attendance it would be probabally be the Jones Brothers in Humble Texas, but they don't hold to the UPCI "standards".

Haney might have a church that seats the most but I don't think they are the largest people wise...
My guess would be Mangun in the UPC...

There are only a few UPCI churches over 1,000 folks in attendance.
Auburn Hills/Warman, Calvary Indy/Mooney, POA/Mangun, CLC/Haney, Life Tab/Kilgore... did I forget anyone?
There are plenty of ex-UPCI churches that are over 1000.
Grace Church of Humble, Spring Tabernacle - Spring,TX, Christ Church of Nashville, Promise Land, Pen Tab. of North Miami, Christian Tabernacle of Houston/Heard, Family Christian Center/Steve Muncey (shudder), etc etc etc...
