Re: ALJC vs UPCI
Not much difference at the local church level. No doctrinal difference as far as I can tell. Like the UPC, some churches more liberal, some more conservative, it all depends on the local church. ALJC is a smaller denomination. Their rules for membership, bylaws, etc are probably different from UPC.
Same music, same look, same feel. You probably wouldn't notice a difference except maybe for the sign out front.

Re: ALJC vs UPCI
If they're so similar why don't they just merge?

Re: ALJC vs UPCI
UPC incorporates local churches, the ALJC is only ministerial. I think this is correct unless it has changed. Doctrines the same, but every local church may vary slightly on standards. UPC is much larger, but have good friends in both. I would be in either depending on my location and which was most prominent in the area.

What exactly do you mean when you say "most prominent in the area"?

Re: ALJC vs UPCI
Probably for the same reason there was a recent split from the UPC, disagreements over standards. Just because we agree doctrinally, doesn't always mean we agree on everything. For some, that's enough to want separation from the organization. So long as we all agree on the important things (Bible doctrine), I'll still call them brother and sister. My own brother-in-law is part of an independent OP church.
