Upney Baptist Church (UBC) is a Bible believing/preaching church committed to making the gospel of Jesus Christ the central part of everything it does. UBC aims to disciple and nurture the fellowship of believers and reach people for God's glory through evangelism in the local community.

UBC is located in Barking, East London and is seeking to appoint a full time pastor to lead and serve the congregation.
