See, had I been visiting a place and looking for a oneness church, "United Pentecostal Church" would be one of the first things I look for simply because I know what they believe. Now, had it been Capital Community Church, I would have passed it by. (Not trying to be rude or anything here) How would one find out if y'all are oneness or not? I don't think a name has much to do with anything except for identifying oneself.
Anytime I see a "UPC church", "Jesus Name Apostolic church" I might feel safe visiting that church.......
I agree with you there... I guess the point could be made, we aren't really here for the visiting Oneness people, so much as for the community in which we live...
We're also a church that believes strongly in one on one soul winning.. neighbours, co-workers, doctors, cashiers... that sort of thing. So we don't rely on people coming in because of what the church sign says. Seeing as the average joe doesn't know what UPCI believes.
