Re: Where do you live and go to church?

I grew up as a Southern Baptist in North Mississippi, stopped regularly attending church when I left my parent's house. I married a back-slidden apostolic girl and started attending a nearby UPC church with her (a church that has been criticized by some on this forum, btw). I was an active member there as well as the worship drummer for over a decade.

I was out of church when I joined this forum, but I now attend a small apostolic church (it's not ALJC but is in fellowship with them) in North Mississippi and I love it there.

More (or less) than you wanted to know? lol

I noticed on your church website that your pastor is a Paul Cook. I did not recognize the name and wonder if you can give us a quick bio?

Re: Where do you live and go to church?

I grew up in a small UPC church in Alaska, after the death of one of my parents moved to Louisiana as a teenager, graduated from a UPC Bible College, spent 16 years at a large ex UPC chuch in Texas then approx. the next ten years at a large ex UPC church in Tennessee, and now attend a new (2 1/2 year old) independent charismatic church pastored by the former youth pastor of the UPC church in my town of 100,000 people in Tennessee. The last two churches were / are PCI in doctrine.

LOL, I just knew I should have withheld my identity. Chances are, I probably do know you. I like to be riddled. So, riddle me away...
