Union Baptist Association
UBA is a collaborative network of churches strategically advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Are you tired of working in isolation without:
Accountability and friendship
Ministry problem-solving
Effective engagement tools
Citywide collaboration
Assistance in crisis
Strategic church processes
No one church has the resources to fulfill the Great Commission alone.
We need one another to reach our rapidly-growing and diverse context.
Why We Exist:
Churches are Better Together
UBA helps churches connect, collaborate, and deepen the work they do by working together.
What We Do:
Our work is unique to the needs of our churches and community. We organize our efforts along three strategic pathways: sending, renewal & collaboration.
Collaborative Pathways
Bringing ministers into deep, meaningful, Kingdom-expanding relationships that strengthen the whole Body of Christ.
Sending Pathways
Helping churches send those God calls by developing and deploying missionaries, pastors, church planters, and replanters from their church.
Renewal Pathways
Promoting church health in declining and dying congregations by investing in the renewal of each church and its leaders.
Our Churches
UBA congregations match the wide diversity of cultures, worship styles, structures, sizes, and forms represented in the Greater Houston Area.
Events
The best way to understand UBA is to experience it yourself.
Join us for events aimed at supporting and sharpening our churches and their leaders for the task ahead.
