Wow, I was all kinds of wrong with that post. The NAYC is in OKC and you're right, the GC is in Nashville this year. Wow!

I know they had GC in St. Louis for a few years, and I had heard they were going to keep it there because it's expensive for the UPC HQ.

NAYC sold out in about 6 hours.

2015 - Nashville, TN
2016 - Indianapolis, IN
2017 - Kansas City, MO

Glad they're back to rotating GC in different states. Too bad it isn't closer to the west coast. I'd love to go to another GC. I haven't been to one since the one here in Phx back in 2002.

My church is taking a group to NAYC for better cost effectiveness and I'm still not 100% sure I can afford to go to that.

I'm excited for NAYC this year. It'll be my first. Have you gone before?

I think they try to keep it closer to the Bible Belt lol

I read about that, that was awesome! NAYC still packs out the arenas.

My first NAYC was in Kansas City, MO. I've been to a couple in Nashville and IIRC there was one in Little Rock, AR.

How have your NAYC experiences been? Like I said, this year will be my first.

It's an incredible experience. I sat down on the floor, close to the front for the Kansas City NAYC. I remember Jerry Jones preached and no one (at least not on the floor) sat down the entire message.

Anthony Mangun preached a message at an NAYC in Indianapolis, IN one year and told story I won't forget about a young man named Robby.

The Nashville NAYC's were great as well.

The best part of GC's or NAYC's is being able to meet and make friends with other Oneness Pentecostals.

I don't know what it's like now with the pre-registration and assigned seating, but if you can help it, don't sit too far up in the bleachers. Sit as close as you can to the front. Too many distractions with people walking in and out the further back you get.

That sounds great! Hopefully mine will be good too.

My church has the best secretary ever so I don't have to worry about any of the seating. We already registered for premium seating!
