Steve Munsey came from a lineage of successful highly esteemed Oneness Pentecostal ministers.
He was one of the most popular UPC evangelists in the 1970's. He almost singlehandedly brought the idea of Bus Ministry into the UPC.
He set up the Bus Ministry at many of the larger UPC churches with these churches literally bringing hundreds of unchurched children to church each Sunday.
He was famous for decorating the buses in wild ways and all kinds of promotional ideas to appeal to unchurched kids
He probably gained even greater fame in the UPC by speaheading the "Big Drama" movement at several of the larger churches.
These large scale productions with professional production values far beyond anything attempted before in a UPC church or pretty much any church for that matter was the forerunner of dramas like POA's "Messiah"
Steve Munsey was known for unbelieable energy, creative ideas, and being audacious. In reality I am sure he is ADD if anybody in the world is.
At some point whiel still a young man he left the UPC and truly did "go charismatic" as UPC folks so love to call folks who leave the Ark.
He has pastored a church in the Chicago area for many years now and I know very little about it.
He appears on TBN and other Christian television networks pretty often. It was him acting as a snake oil salesman during a telethon for some Christian TV network I had never heard of that I posted about seeing while on biz in NC. It was a disgusting display and I was deeply grieved. He was the absolute worst of the prosperity gospel on display trying to pry money out of the elderly, sick, and poor.
