It looks like they've restructured their leadership for the better with more accountability and more shared responsibility by trusted members of the church.

It would be interesting to know their selection process. I wonder if they are considering each pastoral candidate by themselves and then if the committee decides they are the one sending it to the church for an up and down yes or no vote?
Having only had one preacher try out in all of this time makes me think that might be the case. If they continue their current rate of having preachers in "God's time" might be sometime next year!
Does anybody know if TPC is an affiliated church? I am guessing not as most larger ones are not plus the rules require you have the words "United Pentecostal Church" in your church name. Of course they could technically have it underneath "The Pentecostal Church" I guess. I have never seen the church sign so I don't know.

"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."
