More than 5,000 pastors, youth leaders, worship leaders, musicians and students from around the world will gather for the Hillsong United Conference in Orlando, Fla., this fall.
For the first time, the popular Australian modern worship band is bringing its popular youth events to North America this year, with the Orlando event slated for Nov. 9-10.
The Hillsong United Conference will feature two days of speaker presentations, teaching and concerts. The conference will focus on the subjects of worship and justice and equipping young people to bring both to their communities.
Australia's Hillsong United is one of the most popular young modern worship bands in the world, and the various conferences they have hosted in Europe have drawn thousands of young people and their church leaders who are looking to immerse themselves in worship and gain a better understanding how to bring a lifestyle of worship to everyday life.
The Orlando conference will feature guest speakers including Hillsong Church senior pastor Brian Houston and youth leader Phil Dooley, while the seminars will demonstrate how young people can transform churches and communities.
Some of the breakout sessions will teach song writing; building a great worship team; youth ministry programming; evangelism; and using TV and media. The Hillsong United band will lead music at the worship events and will also be accompanied by Hillsong worship leader Reuben Morgan.
Australia's Hillsong United scored its first No. 1 album by landing atop the Billboard Top Christian/Gospel Albums chart with the release of their eighth CD, "All of the Above" in May. The CD also debuted at No. 1 on iTunes' chart of Christian music digital album sales and at No. 60 on the Billboard Top 200 of all albums, not just Christian/Gospel.
