Well, the site says they are Oneness Pentecostal.
Their list of beliefs also say so.
I don't recognize any of the names listed as leaders (but that doesn't mean much).

I don't recognize any for sure, but I seem to remember some Evans that had a church that was split off of the UPC church. But that was 40 years ago.

They appear to be a small organization/fellowship.
They say that they are Oneness Pentecostal.
They were not listed on the site of OP organizations at
http://www.apostolic-churches.com/organizations.html
so I emailed the people who maintain the list and they have been added.

Hey guys this interests me. I am particularly wanting to verify their beief on these 2 points of their doctrinal statement.

7. The Resurrection of the Dead

We believe that there will be a literal resurrection of the dead in Christ and that they will he given a glorified and spiritual body in which they will live forever in the presence of the Lord (John 5:29, Acts 24:15, 1 Thess.4:16, 1 Cor.15:35-54). We believe also that there will be a resurrection of the unjust, but these will awake from the tombs only to be judged and hear the hard sentence that will make them heirs of eternal fire (Matt 25:26, John 5:29, Rev. 20:12-15, Mark 9:44).

8. Second Coming of Jesus

Matt 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Point 7 leads me to think there is a POSSIBILITY that they believe in soul sleep.

Point 8 seems clear they are POST TRIB in their rapture belief.

These 2 points in my opinion are very important. Anyone with more info?

I sure don't know anything about them. Maybe there are differences among the preachers on these two points like there are differences among UPC and ALJC preachers. My UPC pastor taught soul sleep but it wasn't a real common teaching in the UPC. My UPC pastor taught a pre-trib rapture but a very prominent minister who even has a regular place in the Pentecostal Herald teaches differently.

I think Roger and Shirley White listed from Tenn. were UPC missionaries to Malaysia in the 80's when we were in Hong Kong.

Ya know, that is what I was thinking as well. My family and I were out of town, and looking for a church close by in TN to visit. Let's just say we walked, and walked out. I was like "I think I'll worship in the Hotel, thanks"

Many videos are available of theirs. I watched a few so far. They are post trib.

Nothing appears to show snake handling. They are not severe on the dress codes. I see short hair on Women and a few beards.

They hold the one step salvation view.
