About Us
For more than 150 years, the Union Center Church of the Brethren has stood at the corner of County Roads 11 and 50 in Elkhart County. Many changes have occurred over that period. The roads have been paved; homes and families have come and gone; most things are done differently than when the church began. One thing has not changed, though. The people of Union Center remain a community of faith that seeks to share God’s love with all people through our understanding of Jesus.
We strive to minister through the following:
Community
- Blended worship on Sunday mornings with an accomplished worship team
- Wednesday evening activities through most of the fall, winter, and spring
- Small group opportunities for social activity and spiritual growth
- Family networking to support one another in times of joy and need
Families
- Full-time pre-school and day care
- Child and adult Sunday school program
- Middle and high school ministries supported with a full-time pastor and volunteer leaders
