-Organized in [[1875]] by Rev. Stewart Adams of Greenville, Alabama as '''Union Baptist Church''', services were initially held in [[Baymen Hall]] on [[Tarragona Street]]. The church's first permanent home was located on Tarragona between [[Chase Street|Chase]] and [[Garden Street]]s. A second edifice was later built on Guillemard Street between [[Gadsden Street|Gadsden]] and [[Cervantes Street]]s but was destroyed by storm. Between [[1892]] and [[1900]], the congregation worshipped in [[Russell’s Hall]] on Tarragona Street, in [[St. Paul Methodist Church]] on [[Intendencia Street]] between [[Alcaniz Street]] and Tarragona, and in [[Luke’s Hall]] on [[Romana Street]] between Alcaniz and [[Florida Blanca Street]]s.<ref>[http://www.greaterunionbc.com/multipage.php?id=5549 Greater Union Building History]</ref>

-Circa 1900, a third building was erected at Guillemard and Cervantes Streets. A new church was built on the same site — 718 North Guillemard Street — sometime between [[1950]] and [[1957]]. In [[1953]], the word "Greater" was added to the church's name. In [[1968]], the church was vacated and later demolished to make way for the widening of Cervantes Street and construction of an overpass. For the next several years, the congregation worshipped at [[Pensacola Technical High School]], [[A. A. Dixon Elementary School]], and [[P. K. Yonge School]].
-Ground was broken for the fifth and current church building on [[November 30]], [[1969]]. On [[April 23]], [[1972]], the congregation marched from P.K. Yonge School to the new church to begin worship. A south wing was constructed circa 1990.
-The congregation has had sixteen pastors in its history.  The current pastor, Rev. Michael A. Thompson, Sr., was installed on February 8, 2009.
