I know, some of you were only thinking of "white churches"...but Orozco is a UPCI pastor. Wouldn't that make his church the largest? I know that some white bigot might have something funny to say!!!!

Orozco does have at least that .... he has done it all primarily through cell groups ...

He's a great man of God and extremely humble ...

Worked with him with a did promotions for SEM .... he served as a board member.

He is dedicated to the work in Los Angeles and even turned down being national SEM director when given the opportunity.

I was looking at UPC attendance numbers once, and it seemed like all the churches I was familiar with used Easter Sunday numbers.

I think other denominations use Easter attendance too.

The largest Oneness church in America is Bro Braizers in Chicago, IL. It is called Apostolic Church of God. It runs 20,000 plus. Below is a link that talks about Bishop Arthur Braizers retirement, but it mentions that the church has over 20,000 members.
