Church United, A Decade in 2026
As Church United prepares to celebrate ten years of ministry in 2026, I’m reminded of a repeated theme throughout Scripture:
“Remember when…”
— God calling His people to look back and see His faithfulness. This year we have much to remember, much to be grateful for, and much to celebrate.
2025 was a year marked by God’s favor, national influence, and extraordinary testimonies of His grace.
Moments of National Impact
• Church United pastors once again prayed inside the halls of power at the National Gathering for Prayer and Repentancein Washington, D.C., joining elected officials, ministry leaders, and intercessors for a morning of repentance on behalf of our nation at the Museum of the Bible.
• We continued to guide pastors across the country through complex cultural issues, including hosting a national immigration webinar featuring top immigration attorneys, DHS insights, and leading Hispanic pastors representing tens of thousands of congregants.
A Testimony That Captured the Nation
One of the most powerful stories of the year came from Pastor and Church United board member Carlos Quintero, who lost his home in the Eaton Fire — yet became a national hero the same night. With fires surrounding his community, Pastor Carlos returned to check on his home and spotted a 92-year-old woman struggling to escape her burning home. Acting instantly, he and his granddaughter rescued her and reconnected her with her family out of state. CBS News Los Angeles highlighted this extraordinary act of courage. This is the heart of Church United pastors across California and our nation.
Strengthening & Equipping Pastors
This year we:
continued expanding our relational network of senior pastors
provided strategic guidance to church leaders seeking biblical clarity on cultural issues impacting their congregations
remained a trusted advisor for pastors navigating government, media, legislation, and public-policy challenges
As we enter our 10th year, I want to thank you personally.
Your prayers, partnership, and generosity are the backbone of this ministry.
Church United exists so pastors can stand boldly, speak wisely, and lead courageously — and none of this would be possible without you.
On December 2nd, I received an invitation to the annual National Prayer Breakfast with President Trump speaking. In past years, I have participated in the National Day of Repentance and Prayer held at the Museum of the Bible with members of Congress, but this is my first time being invited to the breakfast event. In February 2026, it will be my honor to attend and represent Church United.
Would you prayerfully consider sponsoring my attendance at the National Prayer Breakfast or making a year-end gift to Church United?
Your support equips pastors across America to be a faithful, uncompromising voice for truth.
May the love, grace, and truth of Jesus surround you and your family this Christmas and into the coming year.
With gratitude - Merry Christmas.
P.S. Pastors, if you'd like to join me in D.C., let me know!
The first week in February, I plan to attend our annual National Day of Prayer and Repentance at the Museum of the Bible, alongside the Family Research Council (Tony Perkins) and Well Versed (Dr. Jim Garlow). Church United has played a significant role every year since its inception in 2023. The Museum of the Bible event is a day before President Trump's Prayer Breakfast.
