Kenneth Wagner is the Lead Pastor of UNITED Church. Pastor Kenneth attended Southern Wesleyan University in South Carolina, where his passion and calling for ministry came to life. Throughout his college career, when he wasn't playing on his college baseball team, he was leading a Campus Ministry with a few of his closest friends. It was in college that he met his wife, Sherry. Together, they moved to Delaware, where Pastor Kenneth spent seven years as a Students Pastor in Harrington, Delaware. Then, in July of 2013, Pastor Kenneth felt a clear call to plant UNITED Church. 

Partnering with the Association of Related Churches (ARC), UNITED Church was born on September 20th, 2015. On launch day, we saw 515 people in attendance! Since that day, UNITED Church has grown to have two locations in the State of Delaware and has reached thousands with the life-giving message of the gospel.
