Conflicts have always plagued the church. Members fighting members. Leaders fighting leaders. Churches fighting churches. James 4:1-12 brings to light Christian conflict and how it should be dealt with.

To find out our very own Deacon Gilbert Moore, and several others are leaving the church because of the poor leadership of the current church administration is very disheartening. Leaders aren't being led spiritually, but are currently being dominated by selfish desires.

However, Article 1. Section J (page 27) of the Bylaws state, "The CHURCH may, for good and sufficient cause, remove any trustee from office." The same also is mentioned for deacons and deaconess. The "disunity" in God's church stops today!

Fighting in churches hinders the advance of the good news of Jesus Christ. Driven by root causes of pride and the pursuit of personal goals, fighting Christians will damage and dismantle a church's witness in a community. Do you want to renew the fellowship of the Unity Baptist Church?

By signing this petition, you are requesting the current leaders that serve as deacons, deaconess, and trustee's be reevaluated and voted on at the 3rd quarter business meeting (October 8, 2019; 7:00 p.m.) to remain in office for 2019 or be immediately removed and replaced.
