There may be legal reasons for making a church affiliated - representation from the UPCI for the church in any legal proceedings. Other than that, there's no reason for a church to be affiliated with the UPCI. We saw first-hand the mess it creates.

It is not always bad - there are some pastors who are not what they should be and it does sometimes gives the saints of those churches someone to turn to.
