If your church board told you, "Leave the UPCI" - Or leave this Church????

You go to bed and know you are in the will of God. God has called you to this church. The people are great, the church is growing.

Your family is doing great and enjoying the community.

You show up at Church Sunday morning and then one of the Board members (If no Board then the members) calls you into a meeting.

Bro. Pastor.... We have voted that we need to break away from the organization as for association.

And your affiliation.

We have voted (Or members agree) we need you to turn in your UPCI credentials or you will need to leave the assembly.

You went to bed knowing you were in the will of God....

Is the organization bigger than where God wants you to be??

What would you do?????????

First off I would not pastor a church with a board.

Next our church isn't affiliated anyway. I wouldn't mind being ind., matter fact the way the UPC is going I might had rather be ind. They are getting way to worldly for me.

Considering the way the UPC is now I would just not pay my budget fee and go out. There are a lot of good ind. cons to fellowship.
