FPC History 

Located just off Interstate 69, the First Pentecostal Church of Union City has been faithfully serving the city and surrounding communities since 1972.

​​​​

In 1972, in the small town of Hickman, Kentucky, the late 28 year old Reverend James Uzzle, his wife, and 4 children took a small church of just a few members. The church saw magnificent growth which led them to out grow their first building and moved to a 110X50 foot building.  

 

After his passing in 1993, his son Billy Uzzle took the church with his wife Jennifer. The now Bishop Uzzle, and his wife had 3 sons, Dwayne, Brandon, and Madison. While in the position as Pastor, the church moved to Union City, Tennessee in 2010 to a much larger facility with an additional gymnasium/fellowship hall. The First Pentecostal Church grew to over 200 members from 1993 to 2022.  

 

After 29 years as Pastor, Bishop Billy Uzzle passed the torch on to his oldest son Dwayne in 2022.  Pastor Dwayne and First Lady Yalonda Uzzle, have 2 daughters, Lexi and Londyn. The church saw GREAT growth in Members, Faith, and God. In 2022, We moved into our new sanctuary which can fit 1000 people with additional space for the construction of a future balcony. We strive to grow forth and  grow as we spread the good word to our community and world.
