Founded in 1888, Union Baptist Church is a Bible-centered institution led by Rev. Dr. Robert W. Perry. In addition to its Sunday morning service, Union holds Bible study meetings and prayer/praise services throughout the week. The Church building includes a fellowship hall and a bookstore, and congregation members are urged to join the choir, send their children to vacation Bible school and attend special events throughout the year. Union Baptist Church moved to its Newfield Avenue location in 1978.
