Why OneVoiceUnited?

Everywhere I look there is dissension.  We continually find a reason to separate ourselves.  To diminish others. To judge.

The Body of Christ is not about separation – but rather a joining together.  A cohesion.  A unity of voices praising our Lord and our God.  A unity of the entire Body prostrating ourselves before our only King.
