Soul
Sound
Soulsound is a community of creatives bringing offerings to the King that will encourage and build up the Church. We believe that worship leading is about more than just singing on a stage; you can lead from a booth in the back of the room, with a camera in your hand, or at the front door of the church. There’s a song inside of you that the world needs to hear, and there’s room in the Kingdom for your soul’s sound!

WHAT IS UNITED WKND?!
UNITED WKND is a local church student gathering that is founded on the belief that in Christ, we are UNITED. We aren’t created to be alone, we are created to be together. UNITED WKND is a weekend-long experience created around worship, teaching of God’s Word and community.
Only churches (youth pastors or church leaders) can register groups for United WKND. If you are a youth pastor or church leader and are interested in registering your church for United WKND please contact Jamie Willis.
