About Union Baptist Church
A Bible-centered, discipleship-driven church serving Wilmington since 1921.
A Bible-centered, purpose-driven church
Discipleship Development is our primary purpose.
Union Baptist Church is a Bible-centered church that embraces the idea that Discipleship Development is our primary purpose. We believe that the relevancy of the Word of God is not time sensitive — the WORD will always be relevant, always true, and without error.
Yet we believe the presentation of the Word can and should be inclusive of the culture and age we minister to, and this can be done without compromising truth. Today, the Union Baptist Congregation — at over 600 members strong and growing — stands as one of the major pillars in our community.
