I have reached out to the local UPC presbyter in my section, but because the local city Pastor believes that he should be the only UPC pastor in his town, he will not allow a competing church. Our city has 70,000 people in it. ...

Through the years, I have heard of other similiar situations.Are these happenings more common outside of the UPC?
When does the decision of a presbyter, UPC or not, superceed that of a God-given calling? Could God still honor
and bless that calling if it resulted in the disobedience to authority, assuming that the called was under that authority?
What supersedes the calling(s) of God?
