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. Pastor Kate was on a planning meeting for the 2024 Unite, and was so impressed with the intentionality and thoughtfulness the leaders brought! 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. Unite is open to completed grades 6-12. It costs $175 per person, with scholarships available. For more questions, please contact Pastor Kate at khanch@firststcharlesumc.org
