Union Springs was born at the convergence of faith and social justice. Three courageous lay leaders dreamt of a place where freedom could be practiced and preached. They built a sanctuary over a natural spring—a symbol of the living water promised by Jesus—and dedicated it to the mission of liberation and love.
