Join our family in faith and service
At Union Missionary Baptist Church Port Richey FL, our ministries and auxiliaries are the heartbeat of our community. They are where we connect, grow, and serve together, living by choice, not by chance. Explore the many ways you can contribute your gifts, strengthen your faith, and make a tangible difference in the lives of others.
Our ministries in action
We offer a diverse range of ministries and groups, each playing a vital role in fulfilling our church's mission. From welcoming new faces to nurturing spiritual growth, there’s a place for everyone to belong and serve.
Greeters ministry
We are developing a team of greeters so that when a visitor or member enters the doors of the church, a greeter is waiting to provide a warm and genuine welcome. Greeters serve on the frontlines of the church’s hospitality ministry and provide a positive first impression for guests and a “glad to see you again” feeling for regular attendees of the church. Greeters have a key role in setting the tone for the experience many people have at the church. When newcomers enter the church doors and only see a crowd, greeters can make the church feel warm and personal. We invite you to become a part of our greeters’ team.
