Celebrating a Century of God’s Faithfulness
For 100 years, United Baptist Church has stood as a beacon of faith, hope, and community. What began as a small gathering of believers has grown into a vibrant ministry rooted in the love of Christ and committed to serving generations past, present, and future.
On October 25, 2026, we will gather to celebrate a historic milestone—100 years of God’s unwavering faithfulness and a legacy built on prayer, perseverance, and purpose.
Stay connected as we commemorate 100 years of God’s faithfulness—through videos, stories, photos, and reflections shared across our website and social platforms. We invite you to pray with us as we seek God’s direction for the future, believing Him for rest, restoration, and a fresh outpouring of revival. #UBC100
As we honor the past and step into the next century, we remain committed to one truth: GOD FIRST!
