From Dr. Eric Cook
Welcome to the Union Baptist Association website. We hope you will take a few minutes to explore God’s Kingdom work through the churches of the Association. The MISSION of the UBA is to support our cooperating churches in their divinely appointed task of fulfilling the Great Commission. Our mission strategy to do this is accomplished in four ways through:
1) Promoting Missions, 2) Developing Leadership, 3) Nurturing Partnerships, and 4) Strengthening Churches.
“Assisting Churches in Advancing the Gospel,” is our maxim. Because of the various functions of the Association the accomplishing of this task takes on many forms. The demonstration of this truth is seen in our partnership efforts of church planting, church revitalization, mission endeavors, various church administrative functions, conflict resolution, leadership development, evangelism training, deepening discipleship, and a host of other ministry areas.
UBA THEME FOR 2021:
Bold Preaching, Bold Praying,
Bold Proclaiming
Acts 4:23-31
And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word. By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Please watch the attached video about our opportunity to get bread and meat into Ukraine! Baptists on Mission has partnered with this group and our goal is to feed 100,000 per day at $2 per person. Will you consider encouraging your church to feed one person per day per worship attendance?
