Who We Are
Union Chapel is a Southern Baptist congregation. Our church was organized in a little log school house. Miss Nellie Robertson and her pupils had discussed the need for a Sunday School in the community due to inconveniences for all the families there to attend the churches in the area at that time. Miss Robertson and one of her pupils, Miss Volice Mitchell, wrote invitations to each family in the community requesting them to meet at the school house on Sunday, February 10, 1910 at 2:30 PM to discuss and help organize a Sunday School. The meeting was a success as there were twenty-four people present and the first offering taken up that day was twenty-five cents. The congregation continued to grow to the extent that the people decided they needed a church rather than using the school house for a Sunday School. Mrs. Bet Ferrell donated an acre of land for the new church building and many of the men began to split logs and build the church. In the Fall of 1911, the new one-room church was organized and dedicated. Stamped on the pages of the charter is "The Church Built Through the Love of God," bearing the name Union Chapel. It was named Union Chapel because the people felt they were united together in Christian love and fellowship. This tradition of love and fellowship has continued throughout the years. Many great pastors and faithful members have served the Lord to fulfill the mission of Christ in Zebulon and to the world through Union Chapel. We continue to do it today as we reach the world for Christ by "personally knowing, productively growing, and proudly proclaiming Jesus Christ!"
