WELCOME TO UNITY OF FAITH
Welcome to our church. It’s one thing to say a church is Biblical, it is another to actually be Biblical. We strive to be consistently Biblical in everything we do. We are unapologetically Calvinistic. From beginning to end, Salvation is the work of God, not man.
"WE ARE A REFORMED, BIBLICALLY BASED CHURCH."
Who We Are
Our church is doctrinally based in that realm of theology that was recovered during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century – known today as ‘Reformed Theology. We recognize that we currently live in a difficult time of church history.
Due to the prevailing liberal culture, the impact of entertainment and the apathy of the church, there is the tendency for the church to react with a pragmatic approach to evangelism, worship, and ecclesiology. We reject these new paradigms in theology and affirm that what the church needs in our present day is a new reformation and recovery of lost ground.
Unity of Faith Bible Church exist to love God and worship Him. To love and care for one another and to share the joys and the struggles of growing as a Christian community seeking to bring glory to His name. To share the message of Jesus, the gospel with all who will hear, through lives that demonstrate His love, mercy, and justice in all our relationships, in our communities, in our nation and in our world.
We do this by deciding to follow Jesus and to make a daily decision to live for God each day. By earnestly studying His Word and seeking to value what God values and to practice the principles found in His Word.

"...GOD IS PRESENT
AND

Theology of Worship
The Primacy & Importance of Worship. God alone is worthy of worship and delights in His own glory, and so creates, seeks, saves, and commands His people to worship Him. Though believers’ entire lives are to be characterized by spiritual service of worship, God is present and blesses His people in a special way in corporate worship. Our greatest duty and delight is in worshiping the triune God in the beauty of holiness (1 Chronicles 16:29; Psalms 29:2; 96:9).
Reformed Worship as Word Centered. Since worship is of utmost importance, it must be protected by ordained ministers entrusted to guard the Gospel, lead worship, and train those under their care to offer acceptable worship, in spirit and truth. We adhere to the principle of Sola Scriptura (by Scripture Alone). God commands to be worshiped according to His revealed will alone, not according to personal preferences and cultural fads. The very content of God’s Word also should hold a prominent place within virtually every liturgical element.
"...GOD COMMANDS
TO BE WORSHIPED..."
"...CHRIST'S BENEFITS THROUGH HIS WORD..."
Ordinary Means of Grace. God sovereignly establishes and increases faith through His ordained means, often called ordinary means of grace, which are vital for believers’ spiritual nourishment and growth. God’s people are therefore commanded to participate regularly in Lord’s Day corporate worship, in dependence upon God’s Spirit who applies Christ’s benefits through His Word and sacraments. We therefore practice systematic expository preaching of God’s Word, recognize spoken and sung prayer as the chief means of gratitude and praise to God, and administer the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
We celebrate the Lord’s Supper every Sunday Morning. As such, we are a church governed by the ordinary means of grace. Although various ministries and fellowship opportunities certainly exist within our church community, we are not a program-driven church but an ordinary-means-of-grace-driven church.
