My husband and I are seriously considering moving to Wisconsin next year. We are looking at possibly Madison, Milwaukee, or Appleton areas, depending on employment opportunities, real estate, etc.
So here's the thing. We really want to find a church to go to together there. (That would be a HUGE step for us.) Preferably non UPC, like maybe a former UPC church or something similar? I don't agree with all of the legalism in UPC churches, but might consider a UPC church if it was more liberal. He leans towards UPC, but would consider a former UPC pastor that still abides by the three step doctrines, etc. We are both in need of spiritual/emotional healing after the last church situation we were in, and are both hesitant, but know we need to make a change.
Does anyone know of any good churches in Wisconsin that might work out? I would really appreciate it.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
I know exactly the Church you are looking for. Mark Nutting the Pastor is ex UPC. He has been Pastoring an independent Church for somewhere over a decade. They do not teach outward standards. They do teach the 3 step doctrine. They do teach strong BIBLICAL HOLINESS. They are located in Lyons Wisconsin. I think a larger town nearby is called Burlington. If I were in the area I would attend there.
