Largest Houston TX UPC Churches?
A few decades ago Houston Texas was home to quite a few successful UPC churches that are no longer UPC or no longer exist. Off of the top of my head some of them are;
1. Life Tabernacle (now Life Church)
2. R.L. Mitchell's Church (can't remember the name)
3. Grace Church Humble (The Jones Brothers)
4. Jabo Green - Champion Life Church (I think)
5. Richard Heard's church(not positive this was UPC but it was conservative)
What are the main UPC churches in Houston today and about how many folks to they have attending?
I know David Fauss is stlil UPC and that C.L. Dee's church is still UPC but I dob't know how big it is. In the 70's it ran around 1,000 but I know it had some tough times after the pastoral transition.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
