The Movement

What can we fix, if we show up together?

United People of God is a gathering place for people who solve real problems together. We meet, we listen, and then we show up. Jamaica is our first project. It won't be our last.

01What we are

Part gathering, part problem-solving table.

Real problems are solved by people who show up for each other. United People of God is a community united by faith and purpose, and everyone who wants to help is welcome.

It starts socially: friends, families, congregations, professionals and the diaspora, in the same room or on the same call. It doesn't end there. Every gathering comes back to one question: what will we actually do about it?

Social

We gather

People who care about the same problem find each other and build something together.

Practical

We solve

We start with the people affected, understand the need, then fund and do what works.

Faithful

We stay

Not a one-off visit. We keep showing up, and we report back openly on what happened.

02How it works

Four steps, repeated for as long as it takes.

The same rhythm runs through everything we do, starting with Jamaica.

  1. 01

    Gather

    Bring together people who care about the same problem: neighbours, congregations, professionals and the diaspora.

  2. 02

    Solve

    Listen to the community first. Understand the need before deciding the answer, and plan it with local partners.

  3. 03

    Serve

    Show up in person. In Jamaica, that means our team on the ground every July.

  4. 04

    Sustain

    Give faithfully, prepare all year for the next visit, and report back on every result.

03Projects

One project today. The next one taking shape.

We start at home, in Jamaica, and the next need is already clear: giving young people something constructive to do.

Project 01

Jamaica: standing with our children

We serve 100+ children every year. Every July our team runs a 6-Day Vacation Bible School and a Family Fun Day, and gifts help meet the children's everyday, learning and health needs.

Project 02

No “Idle Hands”

We may have missed their childhood, but if we don't give these young ones something constructive to do, many will be drawn toward violence. As every Jamaican grandmother will tell you, “The devil finds work for idle hands.” When something constructive is provided, the wrong choice stops being the only one left.

A possibility

Propose a problem worth solving

Know a community that needs people to show up? Tell us about it. Ideas are possibilities, not promises, until we choose together.

Start a conversation
04Be part of it

Four ways to show up.

Wherever you are, there's a part for you.

Jamaica is where we start. Where we go next is up to us.

Show up for 100+ children a year: give monthly from $10, or come and serve with us in July.
