2nd...He is one name that is leaving the new Southern California District. The Western District will comprise everything from the Grapevine up (Bakersfield to California/Oregon border). From whatever is left...that will comprise the "new" Western District. I would say the new Western District will not be as large as before. But, I think for those churches left in the new Western District, it will be a better climate for them.
Hopefully we can do some quick church planting too, God willing.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
.....From looking at the committees on the WWF, I mean WPF website, it looks like the Western District of the UPCI is going to take a big hit...a lot of pastors of big churches are on the WWF, oops there I go again, I mean WPF comittees....Shoemake in San Jose, Wilson in Sacramento, the Buxton boys in So Cal, and the Morton gang in Chico and Fresno....who's in and who's out out west???.....
It is mostly your PSR group... Including Booker in Rialto. And yes, these are large churches to say the least.
I can only go by what we have seen on the WPF Committee list...and those we have heard rumored to leave.
It is clearly evident that the following will be joining the new Tulsa group:
Wilson/Young
Booker Morton....(although, I do not know who he will be joining).
Clark
Frost J. Shoemake
Wilmoth
Buxton
Anyone else at this point is clearly speculative.
NOTE: the "Morton" mentioned on the WPF is Nathan - NOT VM.... and - (as has been stated in other discussions) - just because their name was listed on the WPF website and flyer, does not mean it was there by permission or admission... and JS is not out as of yet (neither is his father....)

Is Nathan related to VM?
I understand that VM is out but is just going to remain independant?
