GET READY TO GROW IN THE WORD!

September is a season of new beginnings—and a wonderful time to renew our commitment to studying God’s Word. Union Bethel Bible Studies are returning, and we invite you to come learn, grow, ask questions, and discover how Scripture speaks to our everyday lives.

Bring your Bible. Bring your questions. Bring your desire to grow. There’s a place for you in Bible Study!

Welcome to Union Bethel AME Church's Sizzling Summer Revival!

Get ready for five powerful Sundays in August as God ignites our hearts through the life-changing message of Luke 19:10: "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."

Each Sunday at 10:00 a.m., we will hear dynamic preaching that reminds us of Christ's relentless mission to seek the lost, restore the broken, renew our hope, and transform lives through His saving grace.

Be inspired by the anointed voices of Pastor Raymond F. Edmonds, Jr., Rev. Therm James, Jr., Min. Trinity Johnson, and Rev. Dion Jones as they proclaim the power, purpose, and promise found in God's Word.

Come expecting revival. Come expecting restoration. Come expecting lives to be changed. Join us every Sunday in August for Sizzling Summer Revival—where hearts are rekindled, faith is strengthened, and Jesus is still seeking and saving!

In times of uncertainty, change, loss, and challenge, the Church is called not to remain silent, but to pray. Our world needs the hope, healing, peace, wisdom, and presence of God more than ever.

We invite you to join Pastor Raymond F. Edmonds Jr. at the Union Bethel altar as we come together in faith—praying for our community and nation, our elected officials, the bereaved, families facing layoffs and financial uncertainty, and all who are carrying burdens seen and unseen.

When God’s people pray, we place what concerns us into the hands of the One who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.

“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” — James 5:16

Union Bethel summer breaks allow participants, ministry leaders, teachers, and volunteers time to spend summertime with their families, enjoying travel and leisure together, and recharge spiritually, physically, and emotionally after months of faithful service and participation. It also provides an opportunity to evaluate programs, plan for the future, and prepare new resources and activities for the upcoming ministry year. As ministries resume in the fall, we are prepared to launch a new season with renewed energy, fresh ideas, and a stronger focus on serving God and the congregation.
