Unity Fellowship Church New Brunswick was founded as part of the Unity Fellowship Church Movement (UFCM) which began in Los Angeles in 1982. UFCLA was for primarily openly Gay and Lesbian African Americans. The first meetings public worship services were held at the Cackatoo Inn in Inglewood, CA. UFCLA purchased its first property on West Jefferson Blvd. in 1988.
 The primary work of the UFCM was to proclaim the sacredness of all life, thus focusing on empowering those who have been oppressed and made to feel excluded and ashamed. UFCM brought the message of God’s unconditional love and the principles of liberation theology to often ostracized communities. UFCM opened its doors to all of God’s people, especially those fighting for social justice. The UFCM offered those seeking to worship God, in spirit and truth a place to come just as they were.
Unity Fellowship Church (UFC) New Brunswick was consecrated March 2001. The first meetings were held in the home on Nancybelle Valentine and Reverend Brahma Curry in Teaneck, New Jersey. As the congregation grew Unity Fellowship Church New Brunswick moved to the Pride Center then to Bayard Presbyterian Church and then to the historic Kirkpatrick Chapel on the campus of Rutgers University and now, to its present location at 1250 Marigold Street, which is off HOW LANE, which sits between ROUTE 27 and JERSEY AVENUE! (LOOK FOR THE “OAK LEAF APARTMENTS SIGN…that’s Marigold Street).
UFC, New Brunswick serves God’s people through a ministry of care and love by maximizing the God-force in New Brunswick which abides in the spirit of each of God’s children.
