Two of same denomination churches in Flint, Michigan merged in 1994 to form Unity Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The first of three phases of a building project (at our current address) was a multi-purpose room covering about 7000 square feet which was dedicated in May, 1998. This room is now being used as a sanctuary/fellowship area and includes a large kitchen at one end. The second phase covering about 4200 square feet was an education wing, including eight classrooms plus a nursery and a library, which was dedicated in April, 2002. A formal sanctuary, phase three, is now on the planning boards. Prior to worshipping in the new facility, the congregation met in the building owned by one of the original churches. After that building was sold, the congregation rented rooms for worship, fellowship, and Sunday school classes at Baker Community College of Flint. They also rented space at another location for offices.
