Peerless was over 700 for a while. Don't know if that is still accurate.

So basically, other than the pastor of Keith Street's name, I'm not much help. :lol:


:lol: Gotcha, Thanks tho.... Is John Stone a relative of Duke Stone, Wendy's (Teach) pastor?


yes, He is Duke's brother and strangely enough, Duke's wife is AJ Coulter's daugther. Bro Coulter was at our church last sunday for our 100th anniversary celebration.

Now I am not a overseer but I do agree with Dr Ron, Having family that are or have been overseers, it is not a "pastor of pastor's" There is so much more to deal with. Every church in the state and any problems that a Pastor, member,minister etc. could bring up.
Not to mention every church is different even if you teach the same doctrine, they are very different and many personalities. so what may work in one area will not in another.

Just my .02

The number of members at Peerless equal the entire membership of some states. And believe me, you want to talk about different view points on doctrine and differing personalities? Peerless has 'em all. Not only can you not make them all happy, frequently, you can't make anyone happy.

Now this is the real question. How to remedy this?

Split Peerless Road into smaller churches of no more than twenty members, scattered strategically throughout Bradley County.

Hasn't that idea been tried before? People don't get along...let's go down the road and start a new church, same denomination.

Somebody remind how it is people will know we are His disciples? I keep forgetting.

Haha *ouch* - My gist was directed toward gaining NEW members. But sadly that would probably eject the existing anointed 20?

I know. I was just digging deep down into my relatively untouched sense of humor.

Love: when a small hand grabs your own, looks up at you and says "SAVE ME FROM THE MONSTER!", you pick them up (along with 2 dolls and a small panda) and they lay their head on your shoulder, then say, "I love you". All because you "saved" them.

If there was only one, where would people go when they got mad?

:lol: Ain't that the truth? :lol:

Get mad at Peerless? Go to Keith Street. Mad at Keith Street? Go to Durkee Rd. Mad at Durkee Rd? Go to Spring Place. Mad at Spring Place? Go to Union Grove. African-American? Go to Wildwood.

I know people have church hopped that entire circuit (except for the Wildwood part).

I tried most all of them and wasnt comfortable at any.
