I do not think their is a UPCI church bldg that will hold 12-15,000 people.

when is the last time they had that many?

Does it have to be in a UPC church or could it be in some other mega church?

truthfully, I doubt it would be feasible anyways. most churches are far away from hotels.

They only recently began giving an honorarium (under leadership of KH), however, it is nominal. Hotel rooms are not covered...I think they do get a reservation for you at the HQ hotel.

My understanding is there are approximately that many each year.

No way... no where near those numbers. This year was set up for 6k and was never full.

Cool. I knew it was not much and was really more of an honor thing than a paying thing.

Sure about that? Only 6000?

I agree that I think there is no fee paid to peach GC.

My pastor has preached it three times and I believe (If I reember correctly) This last time he said before hand that there is no fee paid for preaching at GC
He sad that it is considered such a honor that it is preached without a fee.

I'm about 90% sure of this.

Only 4100 registered for GC this year. There are always no-shows but those that pay at the door would balance that out.

Yep...those 'real' numbers will get you every time.

Man, I knew attendance was low. Just not that low.
