Hillsong United

Hillsong United was born out of a fervent desire for the youth contingency to engage in worship with more of a rock ’n’ roll musical sensibility. The band followed in the footsteps of worship leader Darlene Zschech, who led a separate band “Hillsong” that was based out of the same church.

Currently led by songwriters and worship leaders Joel Houston, Jad Gillies and JD in their native Australia, Hillsong United’s popular, congregational-friendly songs like "Lead Me To The Cross, "“Your Name High,” and “King of All Days” have been sung in church services around the world.

Its latest release "Search My Heart" off the album Aftermath (February 2011) displays the band's complete devotion to God and dedication to worship. "We'd be all living in the aftermath of our sins if it weren't for Jesus," explains Joel. "Because of Him, we're living in a different aftermath, one filled with hope and forgiveness."

As much as Hillsong United’s heart beats for the Church, they’ve always had an unwavering desire to reach the non-believer, too, which is exactly why I-HEART (www.i-heart.org/), a unique opportunity for Christians to put feet to their faith, was launched.

Emphasizing the power in Christians teaming together for a common purpose, I-HEART simply exists to “help more people,” whether it’s the homeless population in Sydney or those struggling with drug addiction in Sao Paulo. To accomplish their purpose, the band partners with believers from every corner of the earth, which officially makes it the I-HEART revolution they always dreamed about.
