No current statistics for the UPCI but driving thru DeRidder La, this last week I saw they now have an additional 2 Oneness Pennycostal churches....I think that makes 11? in a town of 13K?



these people gotta stop. (before blaming the pennycostals, the Baptists and methodists do the same thing)

I believed it when it was preached and written and believe it today. Nope did not miss it. It was truly great then and now.

Of course...you already knew that I KNEW what your answer would be.

The question was asked TIC.

I believed it then, too. I believe it now, as well. Truly a great message delivered by a great messenger.

Not sure if anyone else has answered this, but they get their constituency from Easter Sunday attendance. There might be a little "rounding up" to make sure they included those in the restroom, too.

The first sentence is true, the second is a j/k.

Rounding up!

Gotta love those skilled in the fine art of speaking evangelistically.

The original preacher of his disappointed us but his message was still true. Another sad story of Pentecost. So much talent and annointing but whatever?
Took a good church down with him to.

Based on crisscrossing the US on deputation in the 80's, unless there has been a dramatic increase in the last 25 years there are many very small churches in the UPCI.

Even more CIA that that. Stats on how many churches and how many Preachers per District. No mention of size of churches.

Avg is 80 ministers in a District.

Avg is 47 churches

Avg population of the States is 4,600,000
