✨ Our youth didn't just attend church,they took it over!✨

From prayers and Scripture readings to welcomes, exhortations, and worship, our young people stepped up and shined for God's glory on Youth Sunday. We are so proud of each teen who used their gifts, voices, and faith to serve.

🔥 Thanks to our guest speaker, Pastor J. Howard Streeter, who challenged us to "Level Up" in our walk with God!

As Jesus said:
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." — Matthew 5:16

This is how we shine! 🌟

Drop a ❤️ in the comments to encourage our youth and celebrate all they accomplished today!

🎶CENTENNIAL TRIBUTE SPOTLIGHT 🎶

Today we are honored to share a special tribute from the great Rev. Terry Nation, one of United Baptist Church's beloved music directors of the 80's- 90's.

During the pastorates of Roderick C. Pounds-Soloman Sr. and Bishop Kenneth W. Paramore
Rev.Terry Nation helped shape the sound, spirit, and excellence of United's music ministry. Through rehearsals, worship services, special programs, and countless moments of praise, his leadership left a lasting mark on generations of choir members and worshippers.

His ministry was more than music—it was worship, discipleship, and a commitment to helping God's people lift their voices in praise.

As we celebrate 100 years of faithfulness, we are grateful for leaders like Rev.Terry Nation whose gifts, dedication, and service helped build the rich legacy we enjoy today.

Thank you, Rev.Terry Nation, for being part of the United story and for sharing your memories with us.

💜 Once United, Always United.
