Women pastors have been around long before the UPCI existed. Married ones too! Some with husbands that didn't even preach! Ooooooo isn't that amazing? :sshhh

I didn't think you did. But I couldn't resist throwing in a little sarcasm for the benefit of others.

This church is reaching out to the community ... like very few traditional UPCI churches are ... their site indicates community work w/ Latinos, gangs, underpriveleged ...

This pic typifies the multicultural makeup of their youth

LOL! Guess I was thinking "great music and choreography for a morning workout."

I didn't quite see the purpose of that dance number except for entertainment value, but oh well ....... good for them for doing all they can to reach their community.

I envision the NC board disfellowshipping Pastor Bill Godair once Resolution 3 passes in September ... He'd be tagged as "questionable" in a heartbeat.

Okay ... this is what the grapevine has spawned about Billy Godair.

BG is the nephew of Johnny and Kenny Godair. He is viewed by some as the "black sheep" of the family and the North Carolina District's neighborhood "charismatic".

He is not shy ...

I cannot confirm or deny the rumor that when confronted by the district board a couple of years back ... he showed up w/ his lawyer. He might of said to the board ... something along the lines of "If you try to take my license ... I'll moon y'all on the way out." Could be urban legend?

He has a happening church. So happening ....Kenny's daughter was congregating there for awhile. He has had preachers like Tommy Tenney grace his pulpit.

This dude is way cool ... but resolution 3 could mark the end of his UPCI tenure, IMHO.

Good observation. Is it known yet who authored Res. 3, or what District it came from?

Really sad when you have Pastors like this who are actually making a difference in the community and changing lives, only to have other disgruntled and jealous ministers try to shut you down.

If this happens the UPCI will lose a great church. Right now HQ should be embracing this church and doing what they can to keep it in the organization. It should be featured in the Pentecostal Herald.

Did anyone else notice . . . all the pics I saw showed that this church has dress standards. I didn't see any jewelry, short hair or pants.

I agree. It is sad that people spin their wheels fighting people who are trying to reach the lost. I am not sure that I am 100% comfortable with all the things and ways they are reaching the lost. But I have learned that just because I am not comfortable with something doesn't make it wrong. I believe alot of good churches have left the UPCI because of other churches whom labled them as charsmatic and shunned them to the point that they finaly became what others accused them of. They remind me of Life Tabernacle in hopkinsville Ky. Pastor Gerald Adams. People accuse them of many things because they think outside of the box.
