“The disciple of Christ desires above all else to be like Him.
- Dallas Willard”
Our Mission
Unity Baptist Church exists to move me-centered individuals into Christ-centered family.
We want to build healthy disciples of all nations for the glory of Jesus Christ. Rather than focus on numbers and church growth, we want to focus on church health. If we focus on being a healthy church, the growth will also come.
House Church Ministry
We believe the gold-standard of what a healthy church looks like is found in the book of Acts. The apostles were the ones who were closest to the Source therefore they have the best idea of what Jesus wanted in His Church. When we look at the New Testament Church we see an incredible spirit, an incredible culture, that consumed them. The purpose of House Church ministry is to recapture that spirit of the New Testament Church in our modern times. We are proud to be part of the House Church movement that is spreading world-wide.

Our beliefs
At Unity Baptist Church we believe the gospel is central to all that we do and we hold Scripture as our highest authority. We are a Southern Baptist Church. We are reformed in theology but not angry about it. Although most in our congregation do not use charismatic gifts, we are open to those gifts if exercised in a Biblical and orderly way.
1. About God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Gen. 1: 26, 27; 3: 22; Ps. 90: 2; Matt. 28: 19; 1 Pet. 1: 2; 2 Cor. 13: 14
2. About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Matt. 1: 22, 23; Isa. 9: 6; John 1: 1-5; 14: 10-30; Heb. 4: 14,15; 1 Cor. 15: 3,4; Rom. 1: 3, 4; Acts 1: 9-11; 1 Tim. 6: 14, 15; Titus 2: 13
3. About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily.
2 Cor. 3: 17; John 16: 7-13; 14: 16, 17; Acts 1: 8; 1 Cor. 2: 12; 3: 16; Eph. 1: 13; Gal. 5: 25; Eph. 5: 18
4. About the Bible
The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.
2 Tim. 3: 16; 2 Pet. 1: 20, 21; 2 Tim. 1: 13; Ps. 119: 105, 160; 12: 6; Prov. 30: 5
5. About Human Beings
People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.
Gen. 1: 27; Ps. 8: 3-6; Isa. 53: 6; 59: 1, 2; Rom. 3: 23
6. About Salvation
Salvation is God's free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Rom. 6: 23; Eph. 2: 8, 9; John 14: 6; 1: 12; Titus 3: 5; Gal. 3: 26; Rom. 5: 1
7. About Eternal Security
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot "lose" it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.
John 10: 29; 2 Tim. 1: 12; Heb. 7: 25; 10: 10, 14; 1 Pet. 1: 3-5
8. About Eternity
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. T o be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
John 3: 16; John 14: 17; Rom. 6: 23; 8: 17, 18; Rev. 20: 15; 1 Cor. 2: 7-9
