Union Baptist Association member congregations elect messengers based on membership totals. It is the responsibility of messengers to attend four quarterly sessions of the Union Baptist Association, referred to as the Spring Session (April), Summer Session (July), Annual Session (October), and Winter Session (January). These four sessions provide a time of worship, fellowship, training opportunities, and information. Messengers are asked to report back to their church after each session and share the information. 

The Winter Session will be held on Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at El Buen Pastor, 111 East Old Hwy. 74., Monroe NC 28112.   Rev. Nate Martin, Pastor at  Hermon Baptist Church, will bring the message.

The Spring Session will be held on Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at At the Cross Fellowship, 1924 Old Pageland-Monroe Rd., Monroe NC 28112.   Rev. Eddie Barbee, Pastor at Mt. Zion Baptist Church will bring the message.

The Summer Session will be held Tuesday, July 26, 2022 at Forest Hills Baptist Church, 2003 Willis Long Rd, Monroe NC  28110. 

The 168th Annual Session will be held on Tuesday, October 25, 2022 at Euto Baptist Church, 6019 Hwy. 205, Marshville NC  28103. Session will begin at 6 pm. Speaker for the Annual Sermon will be Dr. Todd Unzicker, EDT-NCBSC.

Our member congregations complete an annual report provided by the Baptist State Convention, know as the Congregation Profile. This report, due in early October each year, provides vital information for planning and assistance from the Union Baptist Association, Baptist State Convention and Southern Baptist Convention, which includes training conferences, sample Sunday School literature, Vacation Bible School Resources, Discipleship training, evangelism, and new work initiatives. The information received from these reports is included in the UBA Annual each year, which is a resource/reference manual for churches.

"What is the role of the Association today?"

1) Associations are doctrinally-based fellowships of churches on mission in their setting, 2) Associations are self-governing Baptist bodies created by the churches not by the denomination, 3) While self-governance is an indisputable right of every Baptist body, it is tempered by the necessity for, the spirit of, and the duty to practice interdependence and cooperation.
