The church I attend now and for the last 22 years would be considered independent. My pastor and I are licensed with the UPC. In the last 22 years I haven't heard a mention of the UPC behind the pulpit but we do hear a lot about The Kingdom. In fact, almost all of our members would have no clue what you are talking about if you said the word UPC. I associate with plenty of licensed ministers and rarely hear anything of the UPC. I think I hear more about the UPC here than any where else I go, except a maybe certain district function. I think in an environment when an earthly kingdom is promoted over Gods kingdom people are likely to be hurt. I would blame this on the ministry that is doing this and not the organization they hold a license with.

I'd personally prefer not to hear from the Pulpit anything about any organization other than the Kingdom of God
