The Southern California District is pretty much staying in tact. I think WPF took about 5 or 6 pastors. As I said before, the ministers in the Southern part of the State were basically ignored and not represented (except for the presbyters). It really was a forgotten place...however, when so much of the leadership was located in the Valley...it just made some sense.

I think the new Western District will be smaller....and will probably see a different shift from the Ultra Conservative viewpoint to a more Conservative/Moderate.

As a SoCal'er...I am excited to participate in some events in 2009 in the new district.

I think it will all smoothe out within 2 years.

the Northern Calif. Youth convention is moving to stockton and I think it will be as big as ever.

we only lost one church (that i know of) in our section and we are in ultra con territory. The church that left is not going with WPF. they are to the right of them

The Western District and the new Southern California District will hold joint events in 2008 and begin to hold separate events in 2009.

It is too early to tell how many WD churches, Pastors and ministers will join the WPF, as many are undecided at this point. After all the dust settles, is it possible that the WD may only have 100 or so licensed ministers left?

I believe there somewhere around 600+ preachers here. I doubt we are losing 500+ to WPF
