About us

Blackinton Union Church was built in 1871 by Sanford Blackinton and will seat 300 people. We are a non-denominational church, meaning we don’t identify as one specific Christian Denomination. We are a mix of people from all different backgrounds: Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist…Ect.
​
What We Believe:
​
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons:
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
​
We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:26–38), lived a sinless life, and died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins (Romans 4:25). He rose to life from the grave on the third day (Luke 24:1–12) and sent the Holy Spirit to dwell within all who believe in Him (John 14:15–17).
​
We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. To be “saved” or “born again” means that a person is forgiven of sin, rescued from eternal separation from God, and given new life in Christ. Salvation is received when a person accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior, becoming a new creation—transformed in heart and spirit, with the old life forgiven and a new life begun as a follower of Jesus (John 3:3, John 3:16, John 6:40).
​
To Receive Salvation, a Person Must:
-
Confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9–10)
-
Believe in their heart that Jesus died for their sins and that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9–10; Acts 16:31)
-
Repent of their sins, turning away from them and toward God (1 John 1:9; Acts 3:19)
-
Receive Jesus Christ by faith, trusting in His name and accepting the gift of eternal life (John 1:12)
​
A new believer begins a lifelong journey of faith, growing as a follower of Jesus Christ through prayer, reading Scripture, and living according to God’s Word. Becoming a Christian is not an overnight fix—it is a process of growth, dedication, and trust in God. It is the most important decision a person can ever make, and there is no greater life than one lived for Jesus. God’s plan is always greater than our own—trust Him.
