About Us
About United Worship Ministries
United Worship Ministries was founded in 2022 by Pastor Emmanuel Watson Sr. Guided by a divine revelation, Pastor Watson stepped out in faith to establish a church dedicated to serving the Lord and His people. Thus, United Worship Ministries was born.
Our fellowship is one that deeply loves the Lord and is committed to a vision of educating, reforming, and saving lives, particularly by
reaching out to the souls of the forgotten. This mission is inspired by
the scripture Exodus 14:13-14, which reminds us of the power and
faithfulness of God in delivering His people.
At United Worship Ministries, we hope that every individual who
comes into contact with our ministry will understand God’s boundless love. We believe that, as recipients of this love, we
are called to extend it to others through acts of kindness and service.
We are dedicated to equipping the whole person—spirit, mind, and
body—through sound teaching and the faithful proclamation of the whole
truth of God.
Emmanuel Watson Sr

He has a goal to open a homeless center and a battered women’s shelter. He has a passion for those that are less fortunate, and because of that has feed and clothed the homeless on many occasions. One of his favorite achievements is finishing the Fire Brigade and First Responders course, including MET team member of the year. This also gave him the opportunity to help and minister to others.
