Our foundation is the Bible—God’s infallible Word. We emphasize freedom in Christ, obedience to Scripture, and mutual encouragement without denominational burdens.
Real Stories from Our Members
Hear directly from those who’ve experienced the freedom and support of UNTCI:
“Changed My Life”
After 20+ years in denominational ministry, I realized much didn’t align with Scripture. UNTCI welcomed me openly and showed me the true freedom of New Testament ministry. God bless this family!
~ Willie C., Homeless Shelter Director, Nevada
“Opened Closed Doors”
My former denomination wouldn’t ordain me as a female pastor despite my Master of Theology. UNTCI empowered me to follow God’s call. Without them, I couldn’t obey. That’s huge.
~ Sandy R., Pastor, New York
“Protection in Dangerous Places”
In my country, Christianity can carry a death penalty. UNTCI’s online community and resources let me lead safely in spirit and truth—connecting us to the larger Body without oppression.
~ “Daniel,” Pastor (Location Withheld)
“Embracing Non-Traditional Ministry”
Our biker fellowship grew to nearly 100, but local churches shut us out. UNTCI saw our hearts, not our appearance, and enabled legal ministry like weddings and funerals. It changed everything.
~ Dave A., Biker Fellowship Director, North Carolina
These stories show how UNTCI provides covering, education, community, and freedom for diverse callings—from traditional pastors to missionaries in restricted nations to outreach in unique communities.

Question: I am not of a Baptist background and have a question concerning Baptism. I was “dedicated” as a child by my parents, then as an adult who accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior I was Baptized by immersion. What does Baptism have to do with Salvation? If someone accepts Jesus and is not Baptized by immersion are they still saved?
We believe in one Baptism for the forgiveness of Sin.
I suppose you could say “One and Done.”
As we come to the Baptism as believers ready to be obedient to Our Lord, we enter in as a statement to the world as to who He is and who we are now in Him, as well as in receiving the promises of Christ that bring us to Life with peace and hope (His).
We know that it is not required for salvation because of Christ’s declaration to the thief on the cross who came to His defense.
But, the Baptism is the way into that very declaration that allows you to live the life “abundantly” as Christ gives (John 10:10) now, instead of having to wait for your moment just prior to death.
The Baptism is that statement of defense of Christ that makes that statement and seals that relationship that brings life out of death, that allows the living instead of dying.
Well hello CJ!
It is such a joy to connect with you and this joyous website! I so much agree with your undeniable thoughts on Baptism! It is a joyous, as well as life-changing event, giving us a chance for a life-time, as well as an eternal relationship with our Lord God Jesus Christ! As it is written on the home page, being a Christian is not a religion, but is about relationships! A daily relationship with God, in Jesus’s Mighty Name helps us, by loving Him most of all, teaches us to love one another, and this process begins with Baptism! I thank God that I was Baptized, so I can receive the promises of Christ that bring us Life with Peace and hope! There is much spiritual warfare nowadays, and to combat the fear and terror that come from a lack of faith, we must promote Baptism through programs of Discipleship.
God Bless,
Pastor Jim & Sister Camille
