Union Baptist Church

The Union Baptist Church of Montclair, New Jersey had its beginnings in February 1887, when thirty local residents, all members of the Baptist faith, formed their own religious organization and named themselves the “Baptist Mission.” Prior to that time they had worshipped at the St. Mark’s Methodist Church, one of the oldest churches in Montclair, New Jersey. For the next two years the “Baptist Mission” worshipped at several different locations within town.
