Who Are We?
UN-ASSOCIATED is a nonprofit, multimedia platform engaging young people with content and experiences to help them discover their identity in Christ.
We envision a world full of young people who are secure in their identity and worth, no longer seeking external validation from the world around them, but receiving validation through Christ within them. The work we do aims to materialize this vision.

The State of Our Youth
The State of our Youth is in bad shape.
Now, there are many contributing factors to this reality (i.e. – socioeconomic disparities, education, social inequalities, etc.), likewise, we believe the youth is in dire need of a culture shift. This shift says that one no longer has to define themselves based on their skin color, sex, sins, past mistakes, environment, childhood trauma, or how others might perceive them. Instead, they can define themselves based on who a loving, sovereign God created them to be – image bearers of Him.

Why Do We Exist?
We are on a mission to help young people discover their identity in Christ.
Our Vision? A world full of young people who are secure in their identity and worth, no longer seeking external validation from the world around them, but receiving validation through Christ within them.
Many of the problems that plague our youth stem from a lack of a sense of self, purpose and self-esteem. We will change that. We acknowledge how politicized the topic of faith/religion has become in our society. Many might believe that faith is not the best way to go about impacting today’s youth.
The Christian faith is often regarded as offensive and outdated. While we disagree with this idea, we are not reluctant to admit that the Church has much room to improve on the ways we serve the youth and our communities. With our multimedia approach, we aspire to catalyze those improvements.
We will inspire a generation of young people with Christ’s teachings, which promote identity security alongside love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Many may not agree with all tenets of Christianity, but if one looks to cultivate a future that looks anything like this, they must acknowledge that we are on the same page.
"A world full of young people who are secure in their identity and worth, no longer seeking external validation from the world around them, but receiving validation through Christ within them."

What is your role?
Your role is to fulfill the good works along the path that God has destined you to walk. (Ephesians 2:10)
What is your worth?
You are worth the death of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. No one can change this no matter how bad they treat you. God saw you in your imperfections and shortcomings, and said you were worth the biggest sacrifice one could ever make. (John 3:16)
