Hillsong vs Hillsong United

Hillsong is a Pentecostal church that is affiliated with the Australian Christian Churches or the Australian Assemblies of God. It was started by Bob and Bobbie Houston in Baulkham Hills, Sydney, Australia in the year 1983.

The couple moved from New Zealand to Australia and joined a church pastored by Brian’s father, the Christian Life Centre. They later formed the Hills Christian Life Centre with a membership of only 45 people, and within 4 years it grew to several hundred.

The church was initially housed in a warehouse and later transferred to the Hills Centre. It has four main campuses located across Sydney and has several extension services in Australia and in other parts of the world. Its popularity grew from the popularity of Hillsong Music. Their songs and albums topped Australian charts and are well known all over the world.

Wildlife for the 10th to 12th grade group.
Powerhouse for the 18-25 age group.
Frontline for the 25 to 35 age group.

The youth group was formed when Hillsong Church was started in 1983 starting with the Wildlife and Powerhouse groups. The two groups get together on United Nights which formed the basis of the youth groups’ name, Hillsong United. In time, four groups were formed.

The Hillsong United youth ministry worship team started writing songs and released the album “Everyday” in 1999. Every year the group releases an album and travels around the world for tours and conferences.
