THE UNION CHURCH STORY

Pastor Stephen Chandler dreamed of planting a church with a simple goal: helping people connect with God so that they might fulfill their destiny — with Jeremiah 29:11 as the foundational source of that mission. This dream was birthed out of New Life International Fellowship Church, founded by Pastor Stephen’s father, Pastor Ron Chandler. With the help of the Dream Team — servant leaders committed to seeing this dream become a reality — Destiny Harvest Church launched on September 11, 2011.

From 2011 to 2014, thousands encountered Christ like never before, and the church grew from one location in Woodlawn, Maryland, to two locations with the addition of the Laurel, Maryland campus. Through prayer, in September 2015, Destiny Church moved to Columbia, Maryland, merging both campuses back together and becoming a portable church for three years.

In February 2018, Destiny Harvest Church moved into its permanent location in Columbia, Maryland, and underwent a brand refresh, changing its name to Destiny Church. Over the next year, attendance increased from around 700 people on a Sunday — with about 300 people participating in 55 Connect Groups and 300 people serving on the Dream Team — to over 3,000 people in attendance on a Sunday. Connect Groups grew to over 1,700 participants, and more than 800 people served on the Dream Team. This remarkable growth happened within just three years, making it one of the fastest-growing churches in America, according to Outreach magazine.

In February 2020, after much prayer and guidance, the Baltimore County, Maryland location was launched, with nearly a thousand people attending its first weekend. Now renamed and known as Union Church, they are one church in eight locations.

At Union Church, they believe church should be a place where everyone can Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference. Throughout the past decade, Union Church has faithfully fulfilled its mission through Weekend Experiences, Growth Track, Dream Team, and Connect Groups.
