United for Christ
The Camp
Encounter Youth Camp is the inaugural summer camp hosted by United for Christ Ministries, set for June 21–25 in the mountains of Black Mountain, North Carolina, at YMCA Blue Ridge. Overseen by Youth Pastor Nate White, the camp exists to give youth groups, young adults, and ministry workers a genuine, personal encounter with Jesus Christ, drawing its vision from Psalm 34:8. The week combines preaching, worship, personal reflection time, split sessions by age or gender, and testimonies with high-energy recreation like giant volleyball, dodgeball, bubble soccer, and campfires. Registration is $449 per attendee, all-inclusive of lodging, meals, activities, a camp shirt, and more, with a $100 per-church deposit and a final payment deadline of May 1.
The Conference
The UFC Winter Youth Conference, themed “Complete in Him,” runs December 31–January 2 in Denver, North Carolina. Now in its third year, the event has grown quickly — from 140 students representing 10 churches at its launch to 440 students from over 20 churches the following year — with students reporting salvations and life change each time. This year’s gathering features preaching from Garrett Fitch, Heath Williams, Vawn Ramsay, Jay Taylor, and Nate White, along with a combined youth choir leading worship throughout the conference, all aimed at helping students step into the new year spiritually renewed and equipped for their purpose in Christ.
The Classroom
United for Christ’s school ministry initiative equips students and ministry leaders to launch and strengthen Bible clubs and athletics-based outreach on school campuses, working alongside students off-campus to help them lead their own clubs. The ministry has partnered with attorneys and legal counsel to guide participants through starting a club with confidence and full legal support, while stewarding the religious liberties protected on public school campuses. Interested students or teachers can connect directly with Pastor Nate White through a simple sign-up form to begin the process of reaching what UFC calls the greatest mission field in the country — the school campus.
