Who We Are

Unity Church, also known as Unity Advent Christian Church, was established in Four Oaks, NC in 1969.

We are affiliated with the Advent Christian denomination, which belongs to the National Association of Evangelicals and is headquartered in Charlotte. The Scriptures teach Jesus came once to deal with sin, and He will appear a second time — that is, advent again — to save those eagerly waiting for Him (Hebrews 9:28). Jesus, as Lord and Christ, is the basis of our faith, and He is coming soon!

Unity is a multi-generational church, with folks from all walks of life. Some have grown up in the church. Others are new to the faith. But the Lord has woven our lives together for mutual equipping, edification, and worship through our fellowship in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Come fellowship with others seeking Him, desiring to grow in our faith. You are welcome to join us at any of our gatherings.

What We Believe

The Advent Christian statement of faith is as follows:

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19) [The Trinitarian belief that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons has not always been an accepted belief among the Advent Christian.

• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Philippians 2:6-11; 1 Peter 3:18; Romans 5:9; Matthew 26:64)

• We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. (Titus 3:4-7)

• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (John 14:15-18; John 16:13; John 16:7-11)

• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and them that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (1 Corinthians 15:10-23; John 5:28-29)

• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:22-23; Acts 2:41-47)
