About United Baptist Church
As the welcome page said, we are ordinary people who are being transformed by the grace and love of God that is given to us in Jesus Christ. That is the single most important thing you should know about us.
Yes, we are baptists -- and we're OK with that in spite of the popular perception. If you want to know more about what it means to be a baptist, you can read our page on What is a Baptist Church?
Finally, you should know that we are not perfect. Far from it. In fact, we'll just tell you straight up that we have a lot of cracks, bruises, ugly spots, and sharp corners. In the Bible, we're called sinners and that about sums it up. That's why we are so grateful that God sent Jesus to save us right in the middle of our mess. Lord knows, we need it.
So if you are concerned that you might not be welcome because your life isn't all neat and tidy, then don't worry. You'll fit right in. We make lots of mistakes and some of them are doozies. If you hang with us for a while, there is about a 100% chance that we will give you an opportunity to forgive us. And we hope that you do. We have learned that when people stick around through those times, that's when we all get to see how the grace of Jesus moves in to fill the gaps in our broken places.
In the end, it's all about Jesus. He is God's message to us revealed through the scriptures and on the cross -- everything else we believe and do flows from him. If you want to know more about us, you can read more by clicking on the links below.
