Church History
“Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3
Unity Fellowship Baptist Church was initiated in July 1998 after obtaining sponsorship from Bella Vista Baptist Church in Edgewater. Bella Vista then opened its doors for Unity Fellowship to share its sanctuary at 3232 South Ridgewood Avenue. On August 9, 1998, the Florida Baptist Convention, along with the Halifax Baptist Association, commissioned Unity Fellowship Baptist Church, with 21 members, during a Founder’s Day Service. The first worship service was held on Sunday, August 16, 1998.
A Pastor’s Installation Program was held on November 9, 1998, formally installing Reverend Arnold T. Postell as the founding Pastor of this church.
After holding Worship Services weekly at Bella Vista in Edgewater for 3 years, Unity Fellowship services were moved to Daytona Beach at the Halifax Baptist Association building, 201 Osceola Ave, on October 7, 2001.
God blessed Unity Fellowship with the current Church Building at 909 3rd Street in Port Orange FL in December 2012. The first praise and worship service was held on March 22, 2013, and the building was formally dedicated on June, 30, 2013.
The building was officially paid off and the mortgage satisfied in December 2022. To God be the Glory!
