Welcome to New Unity Baptist Church

 It was in the year of 1900 that a group of Christian men and women saw the need to meet together for Christian fellowship in the eastern part of the city. They held their first meeting at 1080 Gilbert Avenue.   Sometime later the congregation purchased a parcel of land located at 647 East Sixth Street. There the congregation began to build a church. In 1960, progress in the form of the expressway took our church at 647 East Sixth Street. We then purchased property at 2124 Burnet Avenue. We built a new church and proudly held our first regular service there on Easter Sunday, 1965.  Our present pastor is Rev. Mark A. Toney. Rev. Toney served faithfully under Rev. Freeman and Rev. Lockett. He accepted God’s call to become our pastor in May, 1980. Rev. Toney has served as the Pastor of New Unity Baptist Church for 44 years strong! In the history of our church, we lost one pastor due to health, Rev. A. A. Freeman. We lost two pastors by death, Rev. G. W. Stringfellow, Rev. John L. Lockett and one Associate Minister Rev David Ingram.
