How it all started
Sharing the gospel with everyone
The Greater Union First Baptist Church in DeLand, Florida was built between 1895-1896 and is one of the oldest historical black Churches in Volusia County, Florida.
At Greater Union First Baptist Church you will find an atmosphere of Love and Unity and where we believe the Scriptures teach that a visible Church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel.
Our church is open and friendly with many social activities. To keep our church running smoothly, we have ministries anyone can join.
The mission of our church is to bring awareness about God’s love to people of all ages and encourage them to establish a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
— Rev. Troy Bradley,
Statement of Faith
We hope that a brief overview of our faith will help you grow into the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
At Greater Union First Baptist Church, we believe the Scriptures teach that a visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ; governed by His laws; and exercising the gifts, rights and privileges invested in them by His Word; that its only scriptural officers are the Pastor, and Deacons whose qualifications, claims and duties are defined in the Epistles of Timothy and Titus.
