UNITE exists to encourage, strengthen and inspire the Christian community to greater commitment to Jesus Christ and His Mission.Unite is the magazine style newspaper for Western New York's Christian community. Unite is an outreach arm of Prayer Collective, a non-profit ministry of prayer and missions.
     From news, to events, to people, to ministries thinking outside the box UNITE encourages the movement of God in our city and region.
     Our print issue launched in February of 2011 and can be found at over 200 Western New York churches, bookstores, and coffee shops absolutely free of charge. We also publish online and digitally. Current distribution is in Buffalo and all surrounding suburbs, Batavia, Niagara Falls and some Rochester. Coming soon to more areas across New York. Partner with us. We are also a member of the Evangelical Press Association.


UNITE is the Church of New York’s media resource for news, events, commentary, people, photos, opinion, product reviews, and inspiration in their walk with God. unite features columns from leaders in the Christian community, interviews with popular Christian musicians, feature articles and essays.

Why UNITE?
UNITE is a response to the need of creating a platform for leaders in the body of Christ to speak directly to issues and topics that are important to the Church of Western New York. We also believe it represents what is happening in the body of Christ in Western New York- God is uniting his people to accomplish his divine purposes! unite serves as the most effective way to communicate a timely message, advertisement, event, or ministry highlight happening in Western New York to the largest Christian audience available. The need is currently not being addressed by any other publication or media ministry or church, thus unite is a strategic publication bringing a needed message to the body of Christ.

What about THRiVE! Magazine?
THRiVE! Magazine is UNITE's sister publication. THRiVE! is about engaging the unbeliever, on the other hand UNITE's audience is the Church exclusively. THRiVE! is available for paid subscribers or for $3.95 at select retailers.

We believe
...the Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct...
One God , eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...
Our Lord Jesus Christ , God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, and His Personal return in power and glory...
The Salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit...
The Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ...
The Unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ...
The Resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

The Apostles Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

     the Creator of heaven and earth,
     and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
     born of the Virgin Mary,
     suffered under Pontius Pilate,
     was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
     and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
     whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic church,
     the communion of saints,
     the forgiveness of sins,
     the resurrection of the body,
     and life everlasting.
Amen.
*The word "catholic" refers not to the Roman Catholic Church, but to the universal church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
