Alexandria averages around 2500. West Monroe runs around 1200. Denham Springs around 1000. All in Louisiana.

Sanctuary size. I'm not sure . I know that Woodlawn in Columbia Ms has 1300 stadium seats. And I think Alexandria seats 5000.

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

If POA averages around 2500 then they must have a lot of folks in classrooms or offsite locations. There is not anywhere near 2500 people in their sanctuary on Sunday mornings or Sunday nights when I have watched their webcast.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

The Rock Church Sacramento, CA seats just over 5000 and from what I understand they are averaging around 2000

There is a Spanish UPC work in the LA area that reports weekly avg of approx. 5000. (from what I understand they are NOT all under one roof each week, but they do come together once a month or quarter to have a combined service.)

I was going by Sunday School Reports from around 3 years ago.
