The theme Scripture for this ministerial association, when established and set in order was and is, “GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED” (Mark 16:15-6).

The vision of this United Christian Church & Ministerial Association, as given to Brother & Sister Hall, and is now under the leadership of Paulette Hilton, President, and Board of Directors, is to:

• Call the Saved, Called & Anointed of the Lord together, from every race, creed, culture, nationality and financial status and unite them into the fellowship of the Body of Christ.
• Ordain, by the anointing of oil and the laying on of hands, and set forth, the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers into God’s harvest field.
• Anoint and set forth, those who respect, honor and submit to the “Gifts of the Spirit” according to 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 by serving the people with these Gifts.

In order to have a successful ministry with God and man, it is necessary to walk in the integrity of “The Fruit of the Spirit” found in Galatians 5:22-23, adhering to the Biblical instructions of Galatians 5:24-26.

Please become acquainted with the ministerial services offered by this association. Brother Hall has gone to be with the Lord but President Paulette Hilton and the Board of Directors remain to carry out the original vision. The Lord has placed a staff of workers with the ministerial association world-wide who are honored to carry on the legacy of such a great anointing and ministry.
