The church was started by the Reverend Dr. Mary A. Tumpkin in September 1982. The empowering message of our New Thought ministries has successfully evolved to our current sanctuary, Master’s Learning Center, day care and community room. Our planned expansion from 22,000 square feet to over 50,000 square feet.
The success of the church over the years has been an example of God working through dedicated people. Realizing your full potential and allowing others to learn and grow from your life example is what makes you and the UTC a vital member of the world community.
Encouragement, explosive energy and excitement,openess and diversity brings the Lord’s message forward. New solutions and new thinking is the basis of our founders and the basis of where we are going.
Bible based for the future.
WE BELIEVE that it is God's will that every individual on the face of this earth should live a healthy, happy, and prosperous life. (Luke 12:32)
WE BELIEVE that such a life is within the reach of each one of us and the way to its attainment begins with the realization that the Kingdom of God is within waiting for us to bring it into expression. (Luke 17:21, Living Bible)
WE BELIEVE that we can bring this kingdom forth by practicing the universal spiritual principles handed down through the ages and taught by our Way-Shower, Jesus the Christ. (Luke 17:21)
WE BELIEVE with Jesus that our experiences are the reflections of our beliefs; and therefore, the key to happy and successful living is right thinking followed by right action. (Prov. 23:7)
WE BELIEVE with Jesus that the basis for right thinking is LOVE - love of God and all that is good in our fellowmen and ourselves. (Matt. 19:19, 22:37)
WE BELIEVE that learning to listen to the whispering of the "still, small voice" within us will ensure that we are guided into right action. (Prov. 3:6 Living Bible)
WE BELIEVE that, rather than devoting our primary efforts to providing for the needy of the world, the time has come to make available to all men everywhere a teaching that will enable them to provide for themselves by learning to release the divine potential within them. (Matt. 6:33)
WE BELIEVE that the Universal Foundation for Better Living is a vehicle for the spreading of such a teaching. (John 15:16)
WE BELIEVE that a mighty new wind is blowing. People everywhere are hungry for practical techniques that will show them how to fulfill the good desires of their hearts. We in the U.F.B. L. believe that we have these techniques and we offer them to everyone without distinction, confident that with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can teach all who are willing to learn how to overcome whatever would keep them from their highest good. (Matt. 28:19:20)
