Our Leadership Team
The Core leadership
The Core Leadership, as known as “Admin”, is a group of college students, young adults, and pastors who are devoted to fulfilling the vision of expanding God’s kingdom-presence on earth. We are responsible for planning, praying for, and carrying out all of the activities of UW in an effort to bring young Christians together to worship God. Our composition reflects our vision and purpose as we come from different churches, schools, and vocations to serve God together. We are always seeking to add to our number with other hard-working, self-sacrificial, committed servants of Christ who are seeking new ways to answer God’s calling and obey His commands to feed and take care of His sheep.
the Followers
The Followers is a worshipping community composed of many young adults who have decided to follow the path of Jesus Christ and aspire to train and nurture the worshippers in places that worship is ceasing. We provide the worship ministry that desires to see a generation not afraid to worship our God with boldness and courage in the United Worship community as an initiator of God’s movement toward the next generation!
