"And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." - Luke 9:23

The Toledo UBF Church celebrated a historic day this past Sunday. For the first time in our 50-year history, we are supporting a full-time pastor. In February of 2023, Steve S. officially became a part of the pastoral team. He finished his Masters of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary in December 2023. Pastor Steve now serves our church as a full-time, paid pastor together with Pastor Greg L. Greg is a co-vocational pastor who received a Master's in Practical Theology with a concentration in pastoral ministry from Winebrenner Theological Seminary in 2020. Greg also works as a senior lecturer in the math department at the University of Toledo. We thank God for Jim Rarick and Dr. Paul K, who came from Chicago to visit and celebrate this important event with us. Please pray for our church to grow and mature this year based on Luke 9:23.
