Missions
Unity Baptist Church is a mission minded congregation. We believe that the church's commission is to reach the entire world with the gospel. Because everyone cannot go themselves, we provide the opportunity to our people to help send others who have that specific call upon their lives. We are always looking for committed missionary families that we can join hands with in helping to fulfill the Great Commission.
As a part of our missions outreach locally we support the ministry of SALT AND LIGHT – which provides food and clothing to those in need in our area.
We also support OPEN HEART PRISON MINISTRY, which ministers to women's prisons in the State of Illinois.
Other Ministry Opportunities
