Thank you so much

I am so blessed by the month long show of appreciation from the members of the Church. I must confess that I love the gifts and food baskets and dinners that have blessed our family during this time. As a Pastor I am humbled and deeply moved when the problems we experience are overcome with the love of God's people. My heart was broken a few months ago but with your help and prayers I now feel the power of God more now than ever in my life. A special thanks again to all who have made this time in my life to be full of joy and fellowship.

Why I do not fellowship with the UPC Churches

In 1993 decided to leave the UPC fellowship without controversy or even out of dislike of the Pastors and members I have grown to love over the years. I do have somewhat of a problem with the UPC in that the Pastors cannot seem to agree on even the basics of the teachings of the Church and Bible. For example many Pastors and members have Televisions in their homes and while they do keep them in closets I feel that if you are a part of this group and have a license you should follow the rules. Last year they had a split in the UPC over just that issue. In addition the outward standards are not followed in unison. Some Churches allow beards and cutting of hair while others do not. Here is the UPC Ministers affirmation

Then if it is not enough some churches are now teaching that the Jews had their chance and cannot be saved. This is a false and dangerous teaching. Another problem is the I am better than you attitude exhibited by both leadership and members of these churches.

It is amazing that this cult is so well known on the internet. Google searches bring a lot of information regarding problems with this group Bad Pastors in UPC and here are more blogs exposing this group Blogs . As you see even though we are Apostolic in our beliefs we are not a UPC Church.
