Kim Bishop serves as our Children’s and Youth Director. Kim is from Spartanburg, South Carolina. She has a Bachelors and Associates of Biblical Studies from Foothills Baptist Theological School, and an Associates of Arts in Biblical Studies from Casey Creek Baptist Bible Institute. Kim’s objective is to serve the Lord by helping prepare the youth and children of UGBC for a lifelong walk with Christ.

The Children’s & Youth Ministry at UGBC has adopted 1 Timothy 4:12 as their verse of purpose. It reads, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
