The UPC has been an institution in People's Lives concerning the Church...
Sheaves for Christ...Mothers Memorial....Foreign Missions....and Youth Camps... relationships....rally's... and so on...
I think while people may not want to disappoint their Pastor there may be some folks who decide it's not so great to be alone out there... and they will be alone.. most conferences...AMC and others are for Ministers only...
It will be interesting...

I think this is probably happening some, but what people don't realize is that there is a huge bunch of godly Spirit filled Christians outside of UPC. It is a comfort zone for many; I know it was for me. I didn't know there were camps, conferences, etc. for those who left, but there are more than you could possibly want to go to. And GOOD ones too!
But it IS scary leaving the mother ship. Been there....done that.
