UCFM Acquires 35-Acre Florida Blvd Property for Major Ministry Expansion
Community Invited to Tour New Facility and Learn More
Baton Rouge, La. — October 18, 2025 — As United Christian Faith Ministries (UCFM) celebrates its 24th Church Anniversary this month, the ministry marks another milestone with the purchase of the former Direct General call center property located at 15151 Florida Boulevard, advancing its long-term vision to expand its reach and impact across the Baton Rouge community.
The acquisition includes 35 acres and a 140,000 square-foot facility, which will be transformed into a vibrant hub for worship, education, wellness, entrepreneurship, and community engagement. The purchase represents years of prayer, planning, and fundraising as we have grown to meet the needs of our expanding congregation and the greater Baton Rouge region.
To continue this growth, UCFM recently launched the Builders of the Kingdom Capital Campaign, a $3.5 million initiative focused on the renovation of the property to house a new temporary sanctuary, K–8 school, wellness center, and more.
Founded in 2001 by Dr. Mark A. Ellis Sr. with just seven members, UCFM has grown to more than 2,000 members and over 40 active ministries, serving Baton Rouge and beyond through education, outreach, and spiritual development.
Media Invitation
Members of the press and community are invited to join the congregation to tour the new facility and hear more about UCFM’s plans for development on:
Sunday, October 19, 2025 at 5:30 p.m.
15151 Florida Boulevard, Baton Rouge, LA 70819
Light refreshments will be provided; media will have opportunities for photos and interviews.
