Who We Are and What We Believe

Union Baptist Church is located four miles south of Ila, GA on Highway 106 in Madison County, GA. On March 18, 1848, citizens and members of several churches met for the purpose of enrolling their names to constitute a new church. As a result, Union Baptist Church was organized July 12, 1848.

Through the many ministries of Union Baptist Church, it is our purpose to exalt Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord while equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. While the saints are equipped, it is also a priority of Union Baptist Church to evangelize the lost, seeing men, women, boys and girls come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

God’s purpose is that ALL people have eternal life and He has made provision for that life through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ: “That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes resulting in righteousness and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation” (Romans 10: 9-10)
