United Community Church
Called to plant. Built to heal.
Founded in 2019 after God called her to plant a church during the COVID-19 pandemic, United Community Church is a place of worship, healing, outreach and community engagement.
Worship
Sunday gatherings centered on scripture, presence and practical faith for real life.
Healing
A congregation where mental health is named out loud and care is never shameful.
Outreach
Community engagement across the Portsmouth and Chesapeake, Virginia area.
Leadership & Service
