Parkersburg, WV
I was checking out the UPC site for churches in Parkersburg, WV.
Two were listed:
1. Gateway Apostolic Church
Pastors Steven Joy and Michael Seebaugh
2. Sanctuary of Hope
Pastor Franklin R. Bounds
There used to be a church there called Christian Life Center pastored by Delton Smith.
Does anyone know why the Christian Life Center is no longer listed?

Re: Parkersburg, WV
I went to Bible college there. It's not a huge booming metropolis. Seems odd to have 2-3 UPC churches along with Bro Nelson's church/Bible College campus for the ALJC. There was also at least one independant there when I was in the area. Seems like a bit of overkill maybe.

Hmmmm.....how long have you been around old time Pentecost? At least in the South it is very common to see two or three or even more Oneness Pentecostal churches in even teeny tiny towns. Usually some are splits off other churches and each one thinks they are the only ones in town with the correct "standards".

That's funny in a sad way.
Small community that I am from had a few churches. We were the UPC in town, ultra con. There is an Apo Assembly, the group whose icon is a shield. Had a friend that attended there. He wouldn't visit us because we were not with the AA. Several times we had visitors from that church. The women would worship God, and the men would stand with their arms folded. LOL
There is a PAW, very small. Mostly the pastor's family in attendance. We didn't fellowship them because they liberal.
Later a pseudo-oneness church opened, but they closed their rather quick.

Re: Parkersburg, WV
I know it is common. It still just stinks of overkill and refusal to work with another man who is already there in an established church. Why not just go and work ALONG SIDE the church that is already there instead of feeling the need to start yet another church in the same area?

Re: Parkersburg, WV
There are 3 UPC churches in the immediate Parkersburg area. Frank Bounds recently started one after CLC left the UPC. There is one PAW church. Bro Tisdale now pastors Spreading Truth, which is the ALJC campus formerly pastored by Bro Nelson. David Adams also pastors an independant church (very good man!). There is another church called Soul's Refuge that I believe has oneness persuasion. I will say that currently the UPC churches in the area seem to be fairly united and hold to a pretty moderate standard.
