This week at Union, Pastor Chase preaches from 1 Peter 1:14–19 with a powerful message titled “Adapt to the Altitude.”
Just like climbers who must learn to breathe differently at higher elevations, followers of Jesus must learn to live differently in a world they no longer belong to. Peter reminds us that holiness isn’t about perfection—it’s about transformation. You’ve been redeemed, set apart, and called to adapt to a new atmosphere of grace.
Learn what it means to grow in your love, trust, and fear of the Lord, and how to thrive—not just survive—in the Christian life.

Pastor Chase and Taylor dive deep into this past Sunday's message from 1 Peter 2:14-16

This week at Union, Pastor Chase continues our walk through 1 Peter with a powerful reminder that salvation isn’t something we sit on—it’s something we live out.

In a message titled “Saved for Something,” Pastor Chase unpacks 1 Peter 1:13 and challenges believers to prepare their minds for action, think clearly, and set their hope fully on Christ. Using a story about a limited-edition Dale Earnhardt car that was built to drive but left sitting in a garage, he paints a vivid picture of how many Christians waste the very purpose they were redeemed for.

You were not saved to be idle—you were saved to be active in the kingdom. God didn’t just save you from something; He saved you for something.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in your faith or unsure of what God is calling you to do next, this message will remind you that He’s not done with you yet. It’s time to prepare your mind, set your hope, and start living the life you were saved for.

Welcome to Union Baptist Church! In this week’s message, Pastor Chase launches our new series, Living Hope, from 1 Peter 1:1-9. We live in a world that is desperate for hope—depression, addiction, and despair are on the rise, and people are looking for answers in places that cannot satisfy. Yet, as believers, we already hold the hope the world is searching for.

In this powerful message, Pastor Chase reminds us how to stand firm and live with unshakable faith in shaky times. Drawing from the words of Peter, he shows us how to remember who we are and whose we are—chosen, set apart, and made new through Jesus Christ. Like gold refined in fire, our faith is strengthened through trials so that our lives bring praise and glory to God.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged by opposition, shaken by hardship, or tempted to give up, this episode will encourage you to cling to your Living Hope and shine brightly in a dark world.

In this episode, Pastor Chase alongside Taylor shares the heart behind Union Baptist Church’s 5-year vision and what it means for our community. This week, we’re focusing on one of our boldest goals—reducing the unchurched in our area by 5%. Within a 10-mile radius of our church, thousands of people don’t have a church home. We believe God has called us to change that.

Join us as we talk about how every member can play a role in reaching our neighbors, sharing the hope of Jesus, and helping more people find their place in God’s family.

It’s more than a goal—it’s our mission. Let’s reach our community, one life at a time.

Divorce is a touchy subject for a lot of people and it's one we've all been affected by one way of another. Tune in this week as Pastor Chase explains what the Bible says about divorce and how Christians should view it.

In this week’s message from our Elephant in the Pew series, Pastor Chase tackles a question Christians have wrestled with for generations: is drinking alcohol a sin, or is it a matter of Christian liberty? Looking at Romans 14:13 and the whole counsel of Scripture, we’ll see what God’s Word says about alcohol, freedom, and responsibility. More importantly, we’ll wrestle with the better question: not “Can I drink?” but “Should I?” Discover why our choices matter, how they can either build others up or tear them down, and why love—not liberty—must lead the way.

This week at Union, Pastor Chase wraps up our Elephant in the Pew series with a topic everyone knows but few admit—gossip. Words have weight, and while they can encourage, heal, and point people to Jesus, they can also tear down, divide, and betray. In this message, you’ll discover why gossip is more dangerous than we realize, the subtle ways we justify it, and how God’s Word calls us to speak life instead. Learn practical steps to stop the fire of gossip and start using your words to build others up for the glory of Christ.

This week at Union, Pastor Chase tackles one of the heaviest Elephants in the Pew: suicide.
From Romans 8, we see that despair is real, but so is the hope found in Christ. Many of us have been touched by suicide, and the questions it leaves behind can feel overwhelming: Does God forgive it? Why does it happen? Where can hope be found?

This message brings biblical clarity, comfort, and direction for those who are hurting or searching for answers.
