Number of Apostolic Churches around me.
 

I can think of at least 7 apostolic churches within about 25 miles of me and that is only the ones I know of.

3 have well over 100 members. Maybe more now.
3 I've never been to. 1 of which is probably younger than a year old.
1 I have been to but it was years ago. It wasn't as big as the other three but it wasn't tiny.

There are probably a few other ones I don't know about. It just seems to me like there are alot of apostolic churches in my area.

Someone told me that there were about 8 apostolic churches within a 5 mile radius near her and none of them fellowshipped each other
or maybe it was 5 apostolic churches withing an 8 mile radius...
I don't remember right now

either way, it is appalling

Re: Number of Apostolic Churches around me.
 

Appalling that there are so many churches or so few churches or that they don't fellowship each other?

Re: Number of Apostolic Churches around me.
 

in my opinion, appalling that they don't fellowship each other.

And you care....why???

you go to a trinny church and really shouldn't care if the Apostolics do whatever......

Disunity in the Body (and I include oneness and trinity in the Body) bothers me.

One of the prayers I pray on a regular basis is the prayer of St. Francis:

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
WHERE THERE IS DIVISION, UNITY;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Way too many.

Do you live in a big city? If so, then you probably need that many. But why don't they fellowship together? Do they still have fellowship meetings? We use to have them when I was growing up. I loved it, traveling as far as 50 miles, and I grew up in Dallas.

There is an organization called The United Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ with a few churches, mostly in Indiana. They have a fellowship meeting monthly. Their web site has not been updated for a long time but it is

I keep thinking I'm going to get to one of the fellowship meetings but i think the closest one to me is about 100 miles.

Re: Number of Apostolic Churches around me.
 

Do any churches in the UPC still have fellowship meetings? I loved them as a child/teen.

Once a month on Sat night.( taking a guess, since it's been many years, but I think the 3rd Sat)
Since not a lot of churches in our area,a drive of 50 to 100 miles not unusual.

Service: singing, specials and preaching
Fellowship: sandwiches and cake; sometimes there was more but it was after service...and the emphasis was on fellowship!
In our northern area the circle had UPC and PAW churches. Great memories!
