United was created in March 2009 by Pastors Jeremy and Lindsey Bosma. They both served and pastored a group called SYC and felt that God was brining unity to the students of Las Vegas. We desire to see a unity amongst students, adults, and people in general to fulfill the purpose that God has called us to become; A generation that is united together to see more souls for Jesus Christ. In order to achieve these results, we must have one mind, one love, one spirit and united for a purpose, Jesus Christ.
We currently see hundreds of students on a weekly basis. High School and Young Adults meet Tuesday night at 6:30pm in the main sanctuary and Junior High meets every Wednesday night at 6:30pm in room 112. We are excited for what God is doing in East Las Vegas.
