Our Purpose
Past
In 1958, the Western Baptist Association Missionary called a meeting to elect a steering committee to explore the need for a church in the Smoky Road area. In 1959, Unity Baptist Church was constituted with 58 members, some who are still with us today. It was in 1959 that they began work on a new church building and in 1960, the first worship service took place in what is now part of our Sunday School educational space. In 1979, Unity had a ground breaking ceremony for what became our main sanctuary one year later. It was in 1999 that Unity broke ground for what is now our Activities Building, which added much needed educational space. This building also serves as our Youth Department building with educational as well as recreational space.
Present
In 2006, we stepped out on faith to begin a NEW JOURNEY. We took our sanctuary and turned it into a new, state-of-the-art children's building. This building houses three floors of educational space for our children as well as an indoor play area, art room, theatre room, reception hall with kitchen, which are all utilized for the purpose of enhancing our Children's Ministry. It is during this time that we turned our activities building into a sanctuary and adult educational space. Thus, giving us room to start our vision for a 1600 seat capacity sanctuary. In November2008, with great excitement we moved into our new worship center and celebrated a month long open house and on January 11, 2009 celebrated our 50 year Golden Anniversary Celebration.
Future
With the New Worship Center, Children's Building and Youth /Activities Building, we look forward to what the future holds. It is through God and only through HIM ,that we feel the future of Unity Baptist Church looks very bright. He has blessed our church through the years and will continue to do so as we follow and obey His Word. We are excited to move forward and allow Him to multiply our ministry as we go about doing His work according to His plan. With every new step and every new passage, we welcome the future as a new adventure in which He, the Ultimate Designer, carries us forward! As always, Jesus has been the focus at Unity Baptist Church. With each vision we are secure in the knowledge that He is establishing a building block of faith to others through our church. Come and join us in helping build a strong future for our generation and the ones to come.
