Health and Wellness Ministry
The Health and Wellness Ministry strives to promote the “whole person” principle that we are made up of mind, body & spirit and by inter-connecting these three, we can live lives to a fuller extent for God.
We are working to break down the stigma, surrounding various illnesses, including mental illness, and bridge the gap between emotional wellness and spiritual wellness. Through our partnership with the PEWS program, a division of the Mental Health Association in New Jersey, we will provide education to clergy, lay staff and congregants to better recognize emotional difficulties, treatment options and provide links to available community resources.
The Health and Wellness Ministry seeks to become part of the discharge planning process for persons being released from hospitals, halfway programs or incarceration to provide ministry with reaching the lost for Christ and to become a source of information and support for those who are experiencing health challenges both personally and with family members.
Youth Ministry
The Youth Ministry is comprised of children and youth (ages 3-18), their parents, and other adult volunteers. Our goals are threefold:
To support the spiritual growth and formation of our youth and their families;
To provide ministry (service) opportunities for youth to participate in;
To strengthen the fellowship among youngsters and families with children at UBC.
Our ministry includes the youth and children’s choirs, youth band, youth dancers. We also interface with and support Christian Education initiatives and programs that involve or are geared to youngsters.
The Youth Ministry welcomes all young people, families with children, and interested adult volunteers to share in efforts to grow healthy, faithful young disciples for Christ at Union Baptist Church.
The Youth Ministry established "Fourth Friday Fun" as a means of allowing the youth of Union to enjoy family, faith, fellowship, food and fun. Each fourth Friday of the month is Youth Game Night -- from toddlers to college students. Youth and parents enjoy each other as they engage in a myriad of fun-filled activities including, but not limited to: Wii games, Guitar/Band Hero, Taboo, Phase Ten, Chess and more. The youngest youth have access to countless movies via Apple TV. Fourth Fridays are from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm in D.C. Rice Hall. Refreshments are served. Most importantly, evenings begin with circle prayer and end with circle "Popcorn Prayer." In addition to families enjoying relaxed time with each other, youth have invited guests to Game Night, which has resulted in those guests visiting Sunday School and Sunday morning worship service. God is awesome!

Single people have a wonderful opportunity to serve the Lord with a God-centered focus; and with the Bible as its foundation, it is the ministry’s desire to provide a sense of camaraderie and family within a Christian setting, and to offer opportunities for individual growth within the community, among one another, and with the Lord through monthly meetings, group Bible Studies, workshops, conferences, trips, and casual get-togethers.
