UPC in 2030

In light of recent developments....splits, breakdown in long-term leadership model, message creep, visioneering challenges, and generational shifts...what will the United Pentecostal Church be like in a little over twenty years: 2030? Will it still be in existence? Will it trim down, consolidate, and begin to grow again? In short, what is the answer to the question asked many years ago at GC (can't remember the minister) "Will the UPC survive the onslaught of history?"

200 ministers.

87 showing up for GC.

Tickets $4000 apiece.

Hearing rumor of a split over the issue of whether the 3 in "3 Point Plan Of Salvation" should be spelled out (Three) or not (3)

Re: UPC in 2030

Instead of one GS there will be three -- a triumvirate, a lib, a con and a mod. Issues will be settled in a "death race 2000" style venue.
