We are a one man band organization. MY Bishop (who is the Chief of the Organization) is 86 years old and everyone is just waiting for him to die. No one wants to embrace his vision at all as an organization. Everyone is wanting to change the entire organization to the point where the ones with the true standard are becoming a miniority. We use UPCI tracts and sunday school books. Its sad we dont have our own publishing house. We pull about 10,000 to 15,000 at our Holy Convocation and now only utilize arenas and colesiums when we gather BUT we still have no progression at all. Instead everyone battles over issues like women preachers (which we dont believe it) headcoverings (which we require them on women) divorce and remarriage (which we dont believe in) earrings and make up. I mean, its crazy. Its time for me to move forward as this organization thus far has no intent on reaching the world but insisit on MAJORING in the MINORS!!!!! Thats why I am ready to leave.

Why does all of this sound so familiar?
Does the UPC have more than 10 churches with 1000 or more?
