UBC celebrated 100 years of service October 27-28, 2012!
The centennial celebration began on Saturday afternoon with an open house at the church followed by an anniversary banquet at City View at the Terminal in downtown Champaign. Several dignitaries from the University of Illinois, the city of Champaign, seminaries in the area, and the Great Rivers Region gave greetings. Former pastors and deacons of University Baptist Church, Baptist Student Foundation trustees, and University Baptist Church-Baptist Housing Ministry staff were recognized. Three alumni gave testimonials. Special music was provided by current students and alumni. The Honorable Jim Edgar, former governor of Illinois was the keynote speaker. The morning worship service on Sunday concluded the celebration. We hope you enjoy viewing pictures from the banquet below.
