G•R•O•W

GROW is a ministry at University Baptist Church that is designed to reach beyond the walls of our church to those that need to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. The ministry is carried out by members with differing gifts that choose to reach out to visitors, prospects, and other members by writing letters and cards, making phone calls, or making home visits. The members are divided up into four teams based on the letters in GROW and are assigned a specific week of the month (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th). They commit to serve one night each month on their team.  Email us if you would like to get involved in this ministry.

ETC (Extended Teaching Care)

The Extended Teaching Care at University Baptist Church exists to allow preschoolers through age four to discover God's love under the joyful care of UBC adults and youth. ETC provides your child with times of play and teaching about Jesus every Sunday morning during the 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. worship services. Contact us for more information.
