Service & Ministry Teams

make a 
difference

At UBC, we believe that serving God and others is central to what it means to follow Christ. It’s also one of the best ways to connect with others at UBC while serving side-by-side for a common goal. Our  Teams do that every week by volunteering to love people to Jesus Christ one act of selflessness at a time. No matter what your background or skill set, there’s a place for you on a Team!

FOR EVEN THE SON OF MAN CAME NOT TO BE SERVED BUT TO SERVE.
- MARK 10:45

UBC Kids (PreK-6th Grade)
