About UNITE Students

UNITE Students is the embodiment of many dreams to cultivate a space for students to lead, create and play together. The UNITE team is a diverse group of laity and pastors from across Missouri with one common goal: to allow students to see themselves in God’s expanse so that they feel empowered to lead change in their local church and community for years to come. With the heart of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world, UNITE is made possible with the generous support of the Missouri Conference of The United Methodist Church.

The experience of UNITE Students includes transformative worship, dynamic teaching and spiritual practices that are magnified by the voices of hundreds of students and leaders gathered in this sacred space. With a belief in connection, there is an intentional time for small groups to gather and discuss what they’ve heard, electives to learn and explore together, and downtime for organic relationship building and individual rest.

Beyond UNITE, leaders can expect to be equipped with training resources before and after the event and content from the event that can be used in your local church. We believe strongly in the power of the other 51 weeks of the year and aim to continue resourcing and supporting you in your home ministries. For more information, reach out to Rev. Angel Garcia at agarcia@moumethodist.org.
