There is no greater mission on earth than God’s Great Commission. It is the foundation of evangelism and the force that propels us into cross-cultural work. It’s the redemptive purpose that challenges us to put our faith into action, and it’s the shower of forgiveness flowing from the Father that reveals how we can still be used for His glory. Scroll down to find out how you can get involved in UBC missions today.

Other opportunities to serve locally come available throughout the year, such as providing a meal at the Community Soup Kitchen, local prayer walks, our annual Pumpkin Bash during the Halloween season and BEAST FEAST.
