Thank You for Visiting

Plainville Unity Baptist Church was organized in 1849 and has met at the current location since 1889. The sanctuary building was constructed in 1889 and the Sunday School wing/basement fellowship hall was added in 1949. The santuary was remodeled and the entire building covered with brick in 1955. 

It is with a heavy heart that we decided to quit meeting at the end of September of 2026. Of the few people present for the last service, none were from Plainville or the family members of long time church members. The church may yet be re-organized or the building may be used by another chuch or denomination; we honestly do not know at this point.

If you are “looking for a church” there is only one Christian church made up of believers everywhere. This particular location has closed its doors.  There are many sermons in the archives of this website and an article titled What is the Gospel if you are looking for answers. There are also many other churches in this area that would love youto have you visit.

If you are a member of another congregation, pray that God’s will would ever be done. Someday our faith will become sight and we will sit down together at the marriage supper of the Lamb. Until that day, keep pressing toward the mark. Please pray for our family as we pray for the people of Plainville and the surrounding communities. It has been an honor to serve you.

Rev. Clark J Bunch

Meeting vs. Worship

Worship has to come from the right place otherwise is just a bunch of things we do. Done correctly, worship pleases God; he desires it. But you be better off to not worship at all than to fake it.

The Model Prayer

It would be more accurate to call it the Model Prayer or the Disciples’ Prayer but you are probably familiar with the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus was teaching his followers how to pray so let’s examine what he said and what it means to us.

Work?

There is a misconcept that work is a result of the curse. Before sin and the curse, Adam was given a task. He had a vocation. After the curse his job became work.

God’s Provision

God’s provision is sufficient. Here are a couple of examples from the Old Testament that offer lessons New Testament believers can certainly benefit from learning.

The Dwelling Place of God

Promise made, promise kept, with only a few thousand years in between. God plays the long game. This will wrap up or series on God is Near. If you know that to be true in your own life, then let’s worship together. If you are discouraged, keep the faith just a little bit longer. There is always hope. And if you are looking for God, seek him while he may be found. He is probably closer than you think.

God is Near: A Call to Resonse

We have spent six months or so in our series “God is Near” and now it’s time to ask: How will you respond? What do we do with this information? God is near but where are we?

God is Near: Whale Watch

Last week we learn a few lessons from Jonah but we left him in the belly of the great fish. What do you think happens when, after three days, Jonah finally decides to pray?

God is Near: Lessons from Jonah

Daniel, along with Shadrach, Meshech and Abindago, were faithful to God and found themselves in perilous situations. Jonah shows us what happens when the prophet does not want to deliver God’s message and tries to get away from him.

Daniel in the Lion’s Den

You may never be thrown into a furnace or a den of lions for remaining true to your faith. You might get made fun of. You could lose something real like a job promotion or face legal action if you refuse to play the game according to the rules of our culture. God is near. He hears, he sees, and he remembers his promises. He will never leave nor forsake. When you face trials of life, keep in mind that neither your friends, the company you work for nor our government will be the ultimate judge on the final day. Jesus said “If you deny me, I will deny you before me Father.” Look at the Hebrew children and those that accused them. Look at Daniel, and those that had him thrown into the den of lions. Only God can save.

Fourth Man in the Fire

We all go through things – often unplanned, sometimes unfair – but we do not have to go through them alone. God is near.
