If that were not the case in the starting of this or any church the UPC would have no legal standing to force the church against the will of the church board. All Nathan Morton would need to do is turn in his card with the UPC and pastor the church.

Yes. Many churches that took some money became the chew toy of many a district superintendent who had a nephew who was coming off the evangelism trail.
One of my uncles sacrificed for years in poverty to start a church in Minnesota. The DS relative moved into town to help him out. As soon as the building was built my uncle was voted out by a large family block and not a word could be said. My uncle is still UPCI and started another church elsewhere in MN.. but its still kinda evil.
