United in Christ. Together on Mission.

Making disciples in our neighborhoods and among the nations.

Living our Faith

Three Enduring Commitments

From our earliest days, the United Brethren in Christ have been shaped by three enduring commitments - to the Gospel, to Unity, and to Mission. More than ideas we affirm, they guide how we live, lead, and serve. Our commitments have carried us through changing times and drive us with purpose today.

Our Mission

Equipping Leaders. Strengthening Congregations. Starting Churches.

Equip Pastors

We believe healthy, disciple-making churches are led by healthy, disciple-making leaders so we are committed to investing in our pastors and church leaders.

Strengthen Congregations

Our desire is that every church would be characterized by their commitment to the gospel, to unity and to mission. Learn more about how we can help your local church assess those commitments.

Start Churches

The United Brethren Church started as a pioneering movement - starting new churches in new places to connect new people to Jesus. It’s time to rekindle that spirit!
