Teaching & Preaching Bootcamp

We are building something special over here at UP Church.

For the past…I’m not even sure how long, we’ve been collectively affirming that:

UP Church is a divine idea. God has a plan for UP Church.

Right now, God is fulfilling that plan through us.

Through us, will all the families of the earth be blessed.

God has provided us the resources – financial and otherwise – to achieve his purpose for UP Church. We receive the good of God now!

From the time that we began affirming this, so many wonderful and magical things have been happening for our spiritual community.

Most recently we completed an absolutely magical Lent Live 2025 experience. From that class, several amazing leaders emerged, including Rev. John Downey, III, Rev. Jack Roberts, Rev. Tonda Terrell, Saba Roberts, Robyn McKoy and Shamika Cotton.

As we continue to develop the current generation of leaders, we also have an eye out for the next generation.

Dr. Pulley has agreed to host a special Teaching and Preaching Bootcamp for UP Church. If you have an interest in improving your preaching or your teaching or maybe you’re aspiring to preach or teach, I encourage you to be a part of this experience.

It begins Sunday, May 4th at 4pm, immediately following our Annual Meeting and you’re invited.

Tuition is $175 and payment plans are available. You can go to UPChurch.org to register. Or you can follow this link: https://onrealm.org/UPChurch/PublicRegistrations/Event?linkString=NDczZmRhMTctNjA5Ny00NzA1LWIyNzItYjJjYzAwOGU4ODJl

Community Service

Many moons ago, during an early Ministry Development Weekend, we established as mission as: Our mission is to express God’s Divine Love through teaching and practicing spiritual principles, worship services, soulful music, fellowship activities, and community outreach.

In my estimation, we’ve been fulfilling the first four: teaching and practicing spiritual principle, worship services, soulful music and fellowship activities. But since the Pandemic, we have not done must community outreach.

Our current Board President Robyn McKoy presented an idea for how we can begin to fulfill this part of our mission. It’s simple and easy. Each quarter, we will select a non-profit to support. We will raise money for the quarter and then present the donation to the organization.

We received so many people suggestions and have a plan to support them all. However, one organization stood out the most to the Board and we’ve selected it as the first organization that we will support. That organization is Teach Tech Charter High School.

Help us support Teach Tech Charter High School’s Drama Department, a new
program bringing theatre to students for the first time! They need costumes,
production facilities, and opportunities to connect with the Los Angeles
entertainment industry.

Through our outreach, we’re sponsoring a field trip to Warner Brothers Studios
with lunch, partnering with After School Allstars to provide transportation. Your
donation will directly support this experience and help build a lasting theatre
program.

To give, donate as you normally do to the church, selecting Community Service in
the dropdown menu or adding it in the memo section. You can also use the QR code on the featured image. Thank you for making a
difference!

Late Bloomer’s Guide to Wealth

I invite you to make the choice for wealth. I didn’t intentionally set out to be a ‘late bloomer’ when it comes to wealth. Quite honestly, I started this journey with an understanding that wealth is my birthright. I had been schooled by the best – Les Brown, Rev. Johnnie Colemon, Tony Robbins, Rev. Della, Rev. Ike, Catherine Ponder.

I have learned that manifesting wealth is a personal journey. It is an idea that must be awakened in your heart. I don’t know if this is the way it has to be but I had to learn that you’re wealthy whether you have money or not. The presence of money does not make you wealthy; and the lack of money does not make you poort.

It is a mindset that invites wealth in all forms.

I’d like to invite you into a conversation about wealth and wealth building. I want to share with you lessons I’ve learned along the way in the hopes that my journey will both inspire you and save you time. My hope is that I can help you avoid some of things I wasted a whole bunch of time on. And the things that worked, my hope is that you latch on to those things and run with them.

If you’re a late bloomer like me, I desire for you to feel hope…to know that it’s not too late…to know that there is something you can do right now to make a difference in your life financially…to know that there are choices you can make today that will make your life almost unrecognizable even a year from now.

Join me Sunday, March 30th at 5pm PT and let’s talk about wealth and what it takes to accelerate it no matter when you’re starting. Here’s the evite link to register and get the zoom link: https://www.evite.com/event/0233C7GB67SASQ2SQEPQAS7RH563AQ/

To your wealth,

Rev. Sherri James

Lent 2025 – Day 18

We have been on a journey since March 5th, exploring the lessons of Daniel through Dr. Pulley’s book, Daniel: A Model of Kingdom Leadership. Through this experience we have seen what leadership looks like under pressure. Daniel, Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego were captives pressed into service by the Babylonian government.

While they held high posts because of their skill and talent, they, in the end, were not free. Often others sought to create chaos around them, even going so far as to accuse them of disrespecting through their observance of their religious dietary laws.

What they show us through their example is what leadership looks like under pressure. They model for us how to hold to our principles, regardless of the outside circumstances.

We invite you to take this journey with us. We have been holding consciousness for 50 people. As of the writing of this post, we have 43 souls journeying with us. We are so close to 50! Won’t you join us?

Lent 2024 Kickoff Lesson with Rev. Sheree Thompson

What is Lent?

The purpose of Lent is to cleanse and discipline both mind and body toward the end of making them more receptive to Christ ideas. When we fast from negativity and focus on a God idea, we open the way for more of that God idea to express in our lives.

In our 46-day experience, we fast, feast and focus!
