Located in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, “The United Baptist Church (1965)” - hereafter referred to as “UBC” - is a CBOQ affiliate church with a rich history of two independent Baptist congregations uniting as one to form UBC in 1965.

As part of a CBOQ Church Revitalization Project, UBC has experienced massive growth since spring 2022, as weekly service attendance has increased from approximately 30 attendees to now 200+. UBC is an international community of Christ followers from more than 20 countries from 4 continents, with the majority of congregants being new to Canada within the last six years.

Our worship services, music, fellowship, and outreach events both reflect and celebrate this ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversity. UBC has gained a reputation in Sault Ste. Marie as a welcoming international church community.
