Mission Statement

 

The Mission Statement of Union Presbyterian Church is:

"Seeking to Know Christ & Make Christ Known."

Worship Style

 

Union Presbyterian Church follows a traditional liturgy in an informal atmosphere: services regularly use hymn books and includes worship elements like a Call to Worship, Prayer of Confession, and Affirmation of Faith. Worship is led by a volunteer adult choir and music is a combination of traditional and contemporary hymns (with an occasional contemporary praise songs thrown in as well)!

About the Building

 

Union Presbyterian Church began as a mission church from Bethel Presbyterian Church. In the 1840's families in southern Gaston County joined together meeting originally in a brush arbor. In 1843 a log meeting house was constructed and was named Union Meeting house to demonstrate cooperation between Baptists and Presbyterians that met there. Union's first pastor was Rev. Joseph O. Daniels.

The Union Meeting House organized as a Presbyterian church on November 9, 1850.

Union's present brick sanctuary was build in 1907 during the pastorate of Rev. George A. Sparrow who served Union for nearly 29 years.

Most recently, in 2009 a building addition was completed that connected various church buildings, included a rotunda, and elevator.
