In 2022, Uplift Worship Center (UWC) was planted by Pastor Brandon Price, Min. Johnathan Batiste, MIT Billy Banks, and their families. (UWC) is being birthed in the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area. UWC is creating a community of believers that meet in person and virtually to Study, Serve, and Support one another and the community. We believe in doing everything possible to connect people to Christ and unite them to their purpose. God has called us to Uplift our community by helping people develop authentic relationships with him.
