A Message from Our Pastor

Union Baptist Church exists to glorify God and serve the people of Kershaw and Richland Counties.

God has done great things at Union Baptist Church . Our church was founded in 1861, but it exhibits many traits of a new church. Our worship features a stimulating blend of contemporary and traditional music. PowerPoint presentations enhance our services and give them a contemporary feel. You will find that our congregation participates with enthusiasm that is rare in Southern Baptist churches.

Our church motto is “Teaching the Word; Touching the World.” This motto reflects our emphasis on Matthew 28:19. Our desire is to bring new life in Christ to those who are separated from God and sweet refreshing to the weary of heart. We believe that the Christian life is a wonderful adventure of faith and trust.

"Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life" (John 4:13 -15)

Union Baptist Church is an exciting and growing fellowship of believers. It is also a warm and loving church where each member is known and provided an opportunity for service.

Our church is here for people because Jesus died for people. Concern for people like you is the heart of Christian fellowship. We are committed to building a strong New Testament church of Spirit-filled Christians with an ongoing program of evangelism that will reach and minister to the lost.

We believe that God loves everyone and wants the best for our lives. Sin separates us from God, but in His love God gave His son Jesus as a provision for our sins. We need to receive Jesus and accept Him as our union with God.

We believe that each person who has received Jesus should be part of the fellowship of a local church. We invite you to join our fellowship - to find a place of worship and service with us.

We hope our site will be a help and an encouragement to you. If you wish to contact the church staff by e-mail, you can reach us at ubcelgin@bellsouth.net.
