Hillsong United Conference to Hit America

|PIC1|More than 5,000 pastors, youth leaders, worship leaders, musicians and students around the world will gather for the Hillsong United Conference in Orlando, Florida this autumn.

For the first time, the popular Australian modern worship band is bringing its popular youth events to North America. The Orlando event will be held November 9-10, 2007.

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 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's senior pastor Brian Houston and youth leader Phil Dooley and 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 & media. The Hillsong United band will lead music at the worship events and will also be accompanied by Reuben Morgan.

Australia's Hillsong United scored its first #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 #1 on iTunes' chart of Christian music digital album sales and at #60 on the Billboard Top 200 of all albums, not just Christian/Gospel.

Registration to the conference is available at www.hillsongunitedconference.com.
