If I am not mistaken the first "Church in a Day" was built in Mineola, Tx
where Bro. IAintMovin's father pastors. In fact, if I remember correctly
it was the first one built by the UPC in the United States.
Maybe Bro. IAintMovin can see this and correct me if this is not fact.

This is true as far as the UPCI goes.
The first Church-In-A-Days were in Arkansas and it was a district thing. When the UPCI decided to make this a program of its HM department they wanted to come where they knew they could get it done. The kind men from Arkansas came over to make sure that everything went off withouth a hitch.
The First UPCI Church-In-A-Day was in Mineloa, Texas where the pastor is my father. I was there from the beginning to the end and even was the first one to preach on that Sunday Morning.
Texas now does two or three CIAD a year now I believe.
My friends that pastor in Indy had a CIAD built a couple of years ago- Bro. Terry Long is over that program in the area where I reside. My hubby went and helped some, and he was amazed at how smoothly things went!!
