• Summary:Led by Senior Pastor Craig Cummings and rooted in a history dating back to 1843, Union Baptist Church describes its mission as “Love, Grow, Serve” and its tagline as “Connecting people to Jesus and each other,” with a vision to reach Northeast Knoxville and beyond by multiplying disciples. The church offers robust ministries for all ages — KidsU for infants through 5th grade, preschool and Parent’s Day Out options, a full-time Child Enrichment Center, student ministries with regular Sunday and Wednesday gatherings, and background-checked volunteers who emphasize creative Bible teaching and relationships. Music is a strong focus under Music Ministry Director Lori Beeler, with a worship choir (no auditions), praise band, and tech crew supporting weekly worship, and extensive media resources including podcasts and sermons on Spotify, Amazon, and iHeart, livestreamed services and a Vimeo on-demand sermon library. Union also partners in church planting (United Awakening Church/UAB), hosts active prayer ministries (on-campus Prayer Wall, text prayer requests, and regular corporate prayer times), runs a Good Samaritan self-service Food Barn, and provides tools like RightNow Media and Ramsey Plus while accepting online giving through Church Center.
