If they joined the ARP, our membership in the Presbytery would double overnight as they have a few thousand in their membership.  | Wow! Perhaps their presence in the EPC is good and indicative of the Lords work within that church. This is just a little  but I have never seen more than perhaps 50 people coming to worship in a conservative Presbyterian church, so your mention of them having a few thousand in membership seems pretty unreal (although I am sure it is not) | Errr? Both 2nd and Independent have congregations well over 1,000 and both are conservative, Reformed, Presbyterian churches.
Now, they pale in comparison to Bellevue Baptist Church, the Arminian SBC mega-church with members in the 10,000's.
