United African Presbyterian Church is a congregation composed of people from African countries. Founded on the word of God revealed in scripture, the group was formed in January 2005. The Rev. Dr. Jemimah Ngatia is the pastor. The fellowship includes professionals, students, visitors, young and old people from Africa.
The fellowship is supported by the Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy, a regional govering body of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

VISION
The vision of UAPC is to gather people from Africa and help them to process their cultural shocks, to provide spiritual, physical, and material care of those who are already here, and to help those who are coming to America.
We seek to be a place of fellowship and worship of God in the original languages of African peoples. Worship of God in one's native language is important. It is easier to understand the Living Word of God as the center of what we believe in one's original language.
The UAPC will support people from Africa in pursuing opportunities for further education for the benefit of their future careers. It will help them to maintain their faith in God and respect the call of being in America as missionaries from Africa.
The UAPC also gathers more informaiton about tools and hands to meet the cultural diversity needs of people living in metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri.
