Our mission
The mission of UNIDA is to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to help people love God, love people, and change the world. We are a welcoming community that inspires faith and action to make the world a better place with God's love.
Love God
"You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.This is the greatest and most important commandment."
Matthew 22:37-38
Love People
"The second is exactly like it: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself'"
Matthew 22:39
Change the World
"Therefore, as you go, disciple people in all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day[a] until the end of the age.”"
Matthew 28:19-20
Our vision
In UNIDA, we are a multigenerational and bilingual (Catalan and Spanish) community of committed disciples of Jesus, dedicated to sharing our faith and lives with others, reaching those who do not know God, and blessing our communities and the world. Through prayer, collaboration, leadership, and innovation, we aspire to reveal God and His Kingdom in this world.
We believe that through our transformed lives and radical generosity, we can achieve the vision that God has for us and for the world.

Next steps
Welcome to UNIDA (What is UNIDA)
"What is UNIDA" is an opportunity to connect with our church family and discover how God is opening paths within and through us. If you are new to UNIDA or would like to feel more connected with the community, this four-week experience is for you. You will meet our pastors, learn more about who we are and how we want to make a difference in the world, and discover how God invites you to take your next step on your spiritual journey. Don't miss this opportunity to grow in faith and community.
Baptism and Holy Communion
UNIDA observes two biblical ordinances rooted in the actions and teachings of Jesus Christ: Baptism and Holy Communion. These ordinances represent both the individual inner commitment to a personal relationship with Jesus and the corporate outward sign of being connected to a local community of Christ's followers: the local church.
Basic beliefs
The basic beliefs of UNIDA describe our theological positions on key aspects of faith. Centered on Christ and His message, ours is a biblical theology rather than a speculative, subjective, or merely tradition-based theology. These beliefs are directly derived from Scripture (both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible).
