Unite!
www.uniteus.org
Unite! is a network of churches led by pastors and church leaders from a wide variety of denominations, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, working together throughout the city of Atlanta and it's suburbs to serve and bring the hope and love of Christ through our unified prayer, acts of service, compassion, and love. Unite! is unique because it is one of the only church mobilizing networks in the United States that is completely church led.
Unite! is focused on making an impact in, what we believe to be, the four areas of great need throughout metro Atlanta. Impact Areas include: Poverty (i.e. Homelessness), Education (i.e. Serving Public Schools), Justice (i.e. Child Sex Trafficking), and Family (i.e. Helping Broken Marriages & Families).
