Experiencing Unity Across Diverse Congregations

Written By UBA Staff

At our 2024 Annual Celebration, we shared stories of how churches sharing space have helped one another advance the gospel in their context.

In this video, UBA pastors Brandon Webb and Gene Smith discuss how they experienced a truly Kingdom community by sharing their facilities with smaller church plants and ethnic congregations.

“As diverse as we are, God’s grace is that big and that sufficient for everyone that’s in our community.”
— Brandon Webb, Westbury Baptist Church

“If we’re going to complete the Great Commission, we’re not really able to do that without thinking about sharing space.”
— Gene Smith, Braeburn Valley Baptist Church

Want to hear more stories celebrating God at work through church collaboration? Join us for this year’s Annual Celebration this November.

We’ll have dinner, fellowship, share God stories, and worship Christ together.

We hope to see you there!
