The Union Baptist Church Family is committed to restoring family values within the home, church, and community based on the word of God. In addition, we strive together to strengthen and sustain healthy relationships among family and social circles.

Union Baptist Church of New Rochelle is one of New Rochelle's earliest African-American religious organizations (established in 1913) and is currently home to over 250 parishoners. Many live in New Rochelle, but others commute from New York City as well as Fairfield, Putnam and Rockland Counties.

This church was built in 1904 for the Salem Baptist congregation, which organized in 1849. According to the New Rochelle BID, the architect Arthur Bates Jennings configured the interior using the Akron Plan, an open spatial arrangement seen in only a few Westchester churches today.

It was a great turnout at the Westchester County Center on Saturday, April 23, 2011.
