Who We Are
About the Connection
A covenant fellowship of independent deliverance churches — gathered around one Lord, one faith, and one covenant.
Our Story
A Movement Born of Covenant
United Deliverance Churches of America was formed to answer a simple question: what could deliverance churches accomplish if they stood together? Across the nation, faithful congregations have labored alone — rich in the Spirit, yet often without a family to strengthen them.
The Connection gathers those churches into one covenant fellowship. It is not a takeover of the local church, but a joining of hands — a spiritual home, a national voice, and a shared commitment to the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19–20.
Our Scripture
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.”

To unite, equip, and strengthen deliverance churches for Gospel impact — freedom, holiness, and power for all.

The Free-Will Reformation
United by Covenant, Not Coercion
The Connection is built on a holy conviction: churches unite best when they unite freely. The Free-Will Reformation calls congregations into covenant by choice and by the Spirit — reforming fellowship around Scripture, liberty, and love rather than obligation.
The Covenant of Connection
“One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all.”
Ephesians 4:5–6
Every connected church affirms a shared confession and a mutual pledge — to keep the faith, to honor one another, and to advance the Kingdom together.
Our Heritage
A Legacy of Faithful Leadership
We stand on the shoulders of faithful shepherds who kept the faith and passed it on — a heritage of deliverance, holiness, and power. “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood.” — 1 Peter 2:9
