How it all started...
After relocating from Atlanta to Baton Rouge, Mark A. Ellis, Pastor and Founder, received the vision for
United Christian Faith Ministries in June 2001. God instructed Pastor Ellis to reach out to the community,
preach the gospel and teach the Word of God with simplicity and understanding. In August 2001, the
ministry was formed with only seven members. United Christian Faith Ministries held its first worship
service at Ramada Inn, previously located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Over the years, God has blessed
UCFM tremendously. God has allowed us to touch many lives within this community. With over twenty five ministries established, our focus continues to be on outreach, worship, fellowship, ministry, and service.
Our membership continues to grow expediently. We have grown from the seven members in 2001 to
currently over 2000 members and many souls have been added to the body of Christ. TO GOD BE THE
GLORY!
We yet remain dependent upon God and his infinite wisdom as we continue to build the kingdom of God
and celebrate Jesus.
The Lord is continually sharing His presence with United Christian Faith Ministries and by His sovereign
leadership adding to this ministry daily. GREAT IS GOD’S FAITHFULNESS!
Expanding the vision...
In August of 2017, we cut the ribbon on the state of the art United Center. This facility was built to house the many discipleship opportunities we offer.
Expanding the Vision......
On October 20, 2019, we celebrated burning the mortgage on our sanctuary! God has been good to us and the best is yet to come!!!
