The United Evangelical Church (Founded as Qua Iboe Church) is a Christian denomination in Nigeria. It has existed since 1887. It has more than 1,000 congregations and 500,000 members. The church was founded by an Irish missionary, Rev. Samuel Alexander Bill the first of many missionaries who served with The Qua Iboe Mission, now known as Mission Africa, which is based in Belfast. The Mission and Church were initially named after the place where the mission began its work, at Ibeno near the Qua Iboe River in the present day Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria. The church and mission have been entirely independent entities since 1984, but the two continue to work together closely.

Our vision is to be a Bible-based Church, united in worship and service to God and humanity, all while preparing for the rapture.
Our mission is to glorify God and reach the unreached for Christ through evangelism, missions, and social actions. We aim to equip and empower believers to live out their faith and positively impact the world.
Our core values include Sound Biblical Doctrine, Love, Democratic Governance, Discipline and Orderliness, Leadership, Worship, Godly Family Institution, Divine Calling and Training, Social Action, and Giving.
At UEC, we believe worship is a vital response to God and a core part of our devotion. We strive to create an environment where members can worship God in spirit and truth.
We believe that social actions are a demonstration of the gospel’s message. Just as evangelism declares the gospel, social actions put that message into action for the benefit of all.
UEC values purposeful, Christ-like leadership, grounded in servant-hood. We encourage leaders to model their lives after Christ, fostering a supportive and compassionate community.
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
