Sad! How? Pretty sad that folks are just now doing things that should have been done 30 years ago.
I took a pool in my office a year or so ago.
I was very serious and I asked some 75 people several questions.
I asked them the question:
Do you know what Pentecostal church's believe or follow?
Out of 75 only 1 knew anything about Pentecostals.
I aked him if he ever heard of the United Pentecostal Church or Oneness doctrine.
He told me he had never heard of it.
Wanted to know if it was a new revelation.
So the "Church" as some relate the UPC mean's the "Church".
Has not even reached 1 person in a 75 person office in Milwaukee.
Those I had talked to in my interactions about church, I did not ask them the question. They number about 10. As I had talked to them about church one-on-one.
I think we need a bigger audience.
Since most folks sitting in the pews in Pentecostal churches never bring anyone to their church during their religious career's.
In 2007 many UPC ministers are still believing God for 300 strong in attendance in their churchs.
If just 10% of the USA attended a UPC church today.
Population 301,139,947 (July 2007 est.) United States.
There would need to be 100,000 UPC Churches in the US with 300 members.
If you took that number to 3 million it would still mean 10,000 churches.
The message needs a bigger audience.
Today the UPC has about 500,000 members in the USA and some 3700 churches.
Average attendance then is 135 per church.
So you can see why the men in the organization have only the faith for 300 members.
