Jacquelyn Holland
Pastor and Founder
UFC
Liberation In Truth --
New Jersey
The Unity Fellowship Movement was founded,
incorporated, and charted as a 501(C)(3) non-profit religious
organization in 1985. The principal church, also known as the
"Mother Church" is established in Los Angeles, California. Our
founder, Bishop Carl Bean, envisioned spirituality as universal.
The spiritual path is eternal and traveled by all.
Jacquelyn Holland joined the Unity Fellowship Movement in 1992
when she joined the Unity Fellowship church in Brooklyn, NY. A
former member of Lavender Light: The Black and People of All
Colors Lesbian and Gay Gospel Choir, she served two years as
assistant pastor to the Rev. Zachary Jones. After being ordained
a minister in the Unity Fellowship Movement in October 1994,
Rev. Holland felt she should establish a new church to further
spread the liberating message of God's love and acceptance of
all. Liberation In Truth was born in April 1995.
Entering into third year, we will continue to build upon the
foundation that we have laid. To address the needs of our
growing congregation, we have expanded our ministries to include
The Open Door [for young adults 25 and under]and the Young
People's Church [for children and teenagers]. We are dedicated
to community outreach and sharing the joy of God's love in New
Jersey.
