Who we are

Where we come from
Union Church was born in 2011 by Pastor Todd out of a rich history from Union Grove. Back then, Pastor Todd and a multitude of families imagined a church that was truly welcoming to everyone - where everyone had a seat at the table regardless of personal history, family background, ethnicity, or gender.

Lead Pastor
Todd Garner is the lead pastor of Union Church. Since he began in 2011, the church has grown to three campuses and multiple services. We have dedicated ourselves to be a life-giving culture that brings healing, hope, and help to our communities.
Pastor Todd has a deep desire to see lives changed through our Sunday services and relationships built through small groups. Pastor Todd founded the Union Dream Center to be a place where the disenfranchised children in our community can find help for their needs and learn more about Jesus.
Todd and his wife Shana have three children and live in Tifton, Georgia. He enjoys spending time with family, traveling, and football.
