Hillsong United is an Australian Christian rock and worship band. They started as the youth ministry band from Hillsong Church in Australia.
Their music is praise and worship with a contemporary style that is a mix of contemporary Christian music and mainstream rock. The band
was formerly named "United Live" and was led by Reuben Morgan and Marty Sampson. United Live made its first album on 1999 when
worship pastor, Darlene Zschech suggested to Reuben that they make an album. (This has been mentioned by Reuben in the United We
Stand DVD in the documentary section) Following the advice, Reuben and Marty led the team to make their very first album, Everyday. From
there they made 3 more albums with Reuben. They changed the band name from "United Live" to Hillsong United after Reuben's departure
in 2002. Joel Houston, the son of the church's senior pastor, replaced Reuben, and stepped up to lead the group together with Marty. The
band has toured in a number of countries, and their 2006 release United We Stand was the best selling album of 2006 in Canada at Christian
retail stores.
