I can give you a brief summary in a sentence. Good individuals who believed the Romanist teaching that the church is a building, exalt a man to unscriptural level of power and obedience and buy into the teaching that their particular sect represents the true Church of Jesus Christ were taken advantage of because of their ignorance.

I have it set to max posts per page.

Really? All this typeface about that? That goes on around here all the time.

I think this must be some sort of record though.

In December of 1963, Brother Parkey resigned his church to become the Promotional Director of the Harvestime Broadcast at the UnitedPentecostalChurch headquarters, at 2645 South Grand in St. Louis, MO.

During this year, he not only traveled . promoting Harvestime, He was the editor for the periodical "Harvest-Home". At this time He also was serving as the editor of the Youth Magazine, "The Conqueror's TREAD!". In 1964 he became pastor at The First Pentecostal Church of Kansas City, MO where He served for 10 years. At this same time He was the editor of The Missouri District publication, The Missouri District VOICE!

In 1967, the Missouri District voted to have a BibleSchool. The name, "Gateway College of Evangelism" was chosen, and W. C. Parkey was asked to be the president and until 1970. During this time he was asked to serve both on the Curriculum Committee and the Board of Publication of the UnitedPentecostalChurch. He also served on the Campus Evangelism committee.

Then in 1974, Brother Parkey was asked once again to return as the president of GatewayCollege. By this time, it was obvious that in order to guide the school efficiently and effectively it could no longer be a part-time job, so, reluctantly, Brother Parkey resigned as pastor to become the President of Gateway College.

In his second term as President, a high school and distance learning program were added. Gateway sponsored a trip to the Holy Land during this time and a publication, called "The Panorama," was instituted with W. C. Parkey as the editor.

In 1980 He became the pastor at First United Pentecostal Church of Poplar
Bluff, MO. A new Church building was built and in 1983 Cornerstone Tabernacle was dedicated.

Yup, I remember now!

Terry Black's mother used to babysit me when I was in the 3-5 yr old ages. Terry and I used to make mudpies, and his Dad used to have pony rides at the church at 40th Harrison in Kansas City from time to time on Sunday mornings. One time the pony was carrying about three or four of us kids and we all fell off, and there we were three or four little kiddies squalling for our mommies! My family soon left the 40th and Harrison church to go to a little storefront church, and I lost touch with Terry until I was fourteen and going to a UPC youth camp in Rolla Mo. Lanny Wolfe was the music director at that camp, and I played trombone in his little band he had going there that week. Terry didn't talk to me much, and looking back on it, I think he was unhappy with the role he was forced to play as a PK. Fortunately for me I didn't have those stresses. I've pretty much lived my life quietly and under the radar screen. I'm still involved in my little church. Play the keyboard, guitar, mandolin, and some trombone during worship services. I'm also involved as an "Urban Farmer" in our little community garden we've got going.

Since the NEW PASTOR has been voted in after T.B. was forced to resign they have now FIRED B.E. who was the MUSIC MINSTER that was hired under T.B. I was there the first day the new pastor has his first service as pastor. I told my best friend who was sitting beside me that B.E. will be fired and i told him why and who would take over the music. I felt it in the air. The new Pastors wife will be in that position. There was no reason given for B.E. being fired. He had done nothing wrong and spent his life in service to this church and was married in this church. His Dad was there when N.P.U was the pastor before T.B. His Dad was the Music Minister back in the day when it was known as WHITE-HAVEN UPC. After T.B came and was voted in around 1986 they changed the NAME to TPC MEMPHIS and moved to a new Location and built a multi million dollar CHURCH with a House on the property with a large built in swimming pool. It was a MASSIVE STEP up from where we were when I was in the high school. Our Church was big but TPC was GIANT and HUGE compared to WUPC. This church has been thru 2 PASTORS doing the same thing. The only difference the 1st Pastor N.P.U. got to keep his license and was sent to another church. If his name was JONES he would be out there with T.B. with no UPCI license. CHURCH politics. N.P.U. 's father who was the BISHOP at the Time over the UPCI came to town to beg the church not to do this to his son. He begged and begged but the church was not having it. They threw him out. He lived high on the HOG Cadillacs , big house, MAIDS. They T.B. comes along and every one thought he was really something. I was even told once after I was gone for a while and came back that T.B. drove a broke down raggedy car, and they didn't live in a big fancy house. I was like well you must not get invited to the house parties. This was a few years just before they kicked T.B to the CURB. After this was all over with the church is trying to SUE T.B. in court to try and get back all the LUXURY CARS SUV's from BMW's to ESCALDES that he was buying for his kids and grandkids with church money. It was told that he took a $300,000 salary and that his kids and their spouses all got salaries, it was told they took $100,000 each. People don't believe that this could be but if you were to see over the years how he told the people to GIVE GIVE GIVE MORE MORE MORE because GOD wanted TPC to BUILD a NEW BUILDING on new PROPERTY and it never happened. T.B. was saving that Money in the bank for a RAINY DAY and that RAINY day came. He even had his son on Payroll getting $100,000 and a LUXURY CAR i believe he got the BMW and he didn't even had a JOB at the CHURCH.

Also if anyone wants to go and look at The 1st pastors website, N.P.U. and read his BIO he flat out lies saying he started a church in SOUTH HAVEN MS. That is just across the Border of MS & TN. He does not want anyone to connect him with TPC formerly known as HIS Church WHITE HAVEN UPC. I am not sure why they allowed N.P.U to keep his license and just move on to another CHURCH but the only answer is CHURCH POLITICS. If his name had been jones he would be with T.B. out there with NO UPCI LICENSE. But because N.P.U dad was the BISHOP they couldn't touch him. And both PASTORS were caught doing the exact same thing. ONLY the 1st PASTOR was CAUGHT RED HANDED at his HOUSE while CHURCH SERVICE WAS GOING on durning the SINGING and the CHOIR he would EXIT with the secretary and they would leave and go to the Pastors home and then he was back just in time to PREACH. The deacons was following him for a long time and they recorded the events. It's sad to me the CHURCH POLITICS that are always in play. T.B. was not even caught red handed. they only found a FILE on his computer by a TECHNICIAN. which to me that could have been planted there. They actually caught the 1st pastor red handed and he is still preaching in the UPCI sitting up on the plat form at CAMPs and THE BIG GENERAL CONFERENCE. I don't know how N.P.U. can PREACH to the UPCI. WHILE LYING on his WEBSITE so that no one will connect the dots.

You appear to be on a personal crusade against the UPC. I found numerous posts, similar to this in other places on the net.
Some as old as 2013.
There may be more as I didn't look long.

LBC, so may I ask what solace to you find in posting all of this?

I travel to Olive Branch every couple of months or so on business so maybe I will be able to visit TB's new church there when it opens. For those not familiar with the geography of the area OB is essentially like a suburb of Memphis. So as predicted looks like TB is starting a church in his same town although technically he can say it is even in a different state.

Reading your comment takes me back to the FIRST pastor before TB. This was N.P.U. TPC was then called White Haven UPC which was still in Memphis. The 1st pastor NPU who was kicked out of this same church by the some of the same people still there , was able to keep his license and was able to get another church. You can look up his website at a current UPCI church where he is the pastor and he is lying saying he pastored a church in Southaven MS. He doesn't even say it correctly thats how wrong he is , he calls it SOUTH HAVEN 2 words when it's one word. It just makes me angry that Pastors thinks that people forget their bad. He just doesn't want people to connect the DOTS that has the 1st pastor of TPC formley known as whitehaven UPC. This church, was my home church and i went to school there. NPU was my pastor and etymology teacher and he screwed up this church the first time. Then they elected TB to come in and fix up what N.P.U. messed up only to Mess them up some more. And Yes i was a member there for all these years. It also makes me angry when people in here on this site act like no one can say anything about the situation but them. Or if you say to much you are a Gossiper and a trouble maker. But then you see those very people running their Mouths.
