JERUSALEM represents Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas.  Although there may be cultural differences within this area, the majority of the people touched by these projects will be similar to our church body.  The first mission field beyond the walls of our church is our local community and neighborhoods, our Jerusalem.  Here we seek to share and show the love of Christ.

We are called to reach beyond Jerusalem into the larger region – our state and nation.  As in Jerusalem, the culture of these areas is more diverse but still familiar.  The United States is now the world’s third largest mission field, in terms of lost people, behind China and India.  Church planting efforts and disaster relief are at the forefront of our JUDEA mission.  We also work hand-in-hand with the Washington-Madison Baptist Association as well as our Baptist State Convention. 

Expanding our mission effort to Latin America enables us to gain a new and exciting cross-cutlural experience.  The barriers to ministering in this part of the world are less challenging for a number of reasons.  Not only are we close in proximity, making travel relatively easy and less expensive, but language is also less of a barrier.  People also seem to be more open and receptive to our presence.  The established missionary presence in Latin America allows us to support, serve alongside, and partner in church planting, construction, and outreach among the nations.  For UBC, Latan America is our SAMARIA.

The END OF THE EARTH represents the unreached world, specifically the 10/40 Window.  These are the regions where many people have never heard about Jesus.  This mission field includes people with various cultures, languages, religions, and ethnic diversity.  In 2005, UBC officially adopted an Unreached People Group (UPG) in India.  We are committed to do everything in our power by the grace of God to help facilitate a church planting movement led by nationals.  Through this process, we committed to provide financial assistance, pray for, send teams, train and disciple national leaders, mobilize national Christians, and meet the physical needs of the people.
