Acquisition is church services that were designed with young people in mind, and under the Pastorate of Pastor Robert Clifton Crosby I, Union Pentecostal Church hosted Youth Acquisition from 1998 until 2004. Speakers during that time frame included young ministers and pastors, including among others: Brothers Daniel Bozeman, Joe Burgess, Greg Fortenberry, Randall Dunaway, Gary Meadows, and John Burgess Jr.

“Can you ride in Jehu’s chariot?”
Pastor Clif Crosby II relaunched the meeting, rebranded as Acquisition in 2021 after several years of just hosting a youth rally.
