I felt in Spokane there was more autonomy than other Washington state localities. There were several brothers from the brothers house in Spokane that came to the wedding reception of my wife and I back in September 1997. I appreciated their thoughtfulness of coming. It was at the Bellevue meeting hall.
I was surprised or not so surprised when one of them became an elder in Spokane.
In regards to Moses Lake, that locality as well as ones in the Great Lakes area make my argument why local churches are ministry churches. The denominating factor is affiliation with Living Stream Ministry.
