Yes and North Park should've merged with Redeemer or Trinity. But they did not. They folded.
This statement isn't correct. You are looking at that thread from 2013 and assuming much. Mt Salus joined St. Paul. They remained St. Paul for many years. St. Paul moved from S. Jackson to North Clinton. They changed their name to Pinehaven. That whole thing took several several years. Over a decade.
I don't really need to start with any blogs, I was there at the beginning of Redeemer, close to the congregation of Trinity and was a member of the Presbytery. I know the real story, in both the 'blogs' there is a super-positive spin put on everything and FPC looks to be the savior of all. I would not agree with that. It was mostly the work of the members leaving trinity (1/3 of them) to plant this church. Of course the Presbytery oversaw the whole thing. Trinity did not plant that church nor did FPC, but I won't go into the details .
