Uniting the Local and Global Body of Christ

We're in pursuit of Jesus' prayer; that we would be "perfectly one and brought to complete unity."

John 17:20-23 (ESV, NIV)

What Type of Unity Are We Talking About?

It’s important to see that what we’re in pursuit of is an active, consistent and functioning unity that can only be explained in a three part trajectory. We believe that it’s only when this type of love and unity is visible throughout the whole world that Jesus’ prayer in John 17:20-23 will be realized.

Part 1:

Union

The theological reality that we have been perfectly united to God and each other in Christ. This reality is the fruit of God’s redemptive mission in the world that culminated in the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, we share in the oneness that the Father shares with the Son (John 17).

Part 2:

Relational Unity

Understanding our union with God and each other, we are called to make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit within the body of Christ by treating one another virtuously (Colossians 3:12; Ephesians 4:1-6).

Part 3:

Operational Unity

As the Church lives in relational unity with one another, loving each other as Christ commands, we are called to turn that unity outward as we operationalize Christ’s mission as a united body of Christ. It is through operational unity that we express our conviction that unity serves as the greatest declaration of the Gospel to the world.

What We Do

We partner with churches, ministries, faith based organizations, businesses, brands and more to coordinate various forms of events, gatherings, activities, initiatives, networks, outreaches and other efforts that unite the body of Christ.

Similarly, using social media, our app (coming soon) and other online efforts, we continue to create a culture and lifestyle of unity by making it easier than ever for Christians to connect and engage with the body of Christ how they want, when they want, wherever they are. 

We Focus On the Essentials

Here at UNITED, we believe that unity does NOT mean uniformity. By being a 3rd party organization that remains unbiased to any one church, affiliation, or denomination, we are able to unify the body of Christ by coming together in the essentials of the Christian faith and respecting all doctrinal differences beyond that. This also enables us to coordinate efforts as well as celebrate, edify, and promote what the local and global body of Christ is doing in it’s entirety.

Behind the Name

Yo[U] a[N]d [I] link[ED] together [T]hrough Christ who bridges the gap between us.

The name UNITED speaks to what we already have as believers through the finished work of Jesus;

unity with Him, God the Father, the Holy Spirit and one another. And while that form of unity already exists spiritually, it also speaks to our vision to see the body of Christ UNITED visibly around the world.
