You weren’t meant to lead alone.

Ministry is hard. You’re navigating burnout, loneliness, unrealistic expectations, and the pressure to always be “on.” But what if there was a space where you didn’t have to carry it alone?

Church United is a growing network of pastors and church staff who are committed to walking together — sharing resources, encouragement, and the call to reach South Florida for Jesus.

We care for the leader behind the pulpit.

Leadership Begins with the Soul

Before we lead others well, we must tend to our own hearts. In this short video, Pastor Brian Brookins shares why Church United places such high value on soul care—helping leaders prioritize their personal relationship with Jesus as the foundation for lasting, healthy ministry.


Why Cohorts Matter

Cohorts are more than leadership circles—they’re spaces for real friendship, accountability, and spiritual formation. In this video, hear why we believe gathering with other leaders isn’t just helpful, it’s essential to sustaining ministry in South Florida.
