    • "Friends for the Journey" RM #
    A dynamic community of 30's, 40's & 50's where open discussion is celebrated and thoughtful reflection is encouraged, as we come together to study Jesus to better understand our faith journeys and our call to be the Church.

    A measured, in-depth study of scripture, alternating between the Old and New Testaments, including in-depth, semi-chronological harmony among the four Gospels, inserting seasonal and topical studies as appropriate. Group discussions add information, explore questions and related scriptures, and seek to apply scriptural principles in our everyday lives.

Volunteer & Serve

We are a congregation of believers committed to sharing the message of Christ and guiding others towards faith in Him. As a church, we aim to love those in our community with the same love Christ has given to us. The work of our church is aimed at directing others towards the Savior in the hopes that they will encounter the one true God and be transformed by His gracious love for them.

Give to UHBC Church

Giving is a part of our worship to God. It has been said that you can tell nearly everything about a person by the way they spend their money. Whether you are tithing in obedience to Malachi 3:10 or contributing over and above your tithe as an act of sacrificial generosity, your money will help us minister God’s hope and healing to our community and beyond. We give in order to be blessed, not for fear of anything negative in our lives. We give out of gratitude and love! You can give your gift safely and securely online - this is one of the easiest ways to give to our church. Thank you.
