Just wondering if there were some large communities surrounding Bro Ewings church.

Does anyone know how many he runs?

"some large communities" what do you mean by that?

Brother Ewing runs somewhere around or north of 500 I believe.

I thought he had a rather large congregation. But in looking at the map on-line last night I thought it said the population was only around 70k.

In my city we just learned from a new census we have 120k. We have 2 churches here and combined there lucky to average 150.

Kutless, I don't live in the Lake Charles area, but according to the UPCI directory, there are seven UPC churches listed for Lake Charles. There may be even more in the surrounding area.

It's saturated with oneness churches, that's for sure!

I can tell you the size of a city has little to do with the size of a church - unless we are talking a mega church.

Our church has 400 members and the city is just over 10k, with no large cities closeby.

Re: Lake Charles LA

Most of the churches in Lake Charles run above 500.

Re: Lake Charles LA

We were just with Bro. Ewing a week ago and he runs 700

Moss Bluff
Westlake
Sulpher
Lake Charles

are a few of them. in those towns, there are more like 15 or 20 Apostolic churches which would include UPCI, ALJC, and Independants that I know of.

many of these churches run between 500 and 750. the Lake Charles area has a pretty heavy Apostolic influence.

Brother Nugents church (they have a new pastor now as Brother Nugent is the Bishop) has a fantastic work at the local College. McNeese University Apostolic Student Union feeds somewhere around 600 students every wednesday?

I think we have at least 1 member of one of these churches who posts here.
