UnitiSocial was born out of a desire to build a digital home where the Church of God community could connect, share, and grow together without the distractions and pitfalls that often come with mainstream social networks.
Long before UnitiSocial was conceived, members of the Church of God community sought ways to remain connected across distances. One expression of that early digital fellowship was YACOG — a community platform used by Church of God young adults. Its mission was simple: provide a place where believers could stay in touch, build relationships, and share life together in a space shaped by their shared faith and values.
As one of the contributors to that platform and someone intimately familiar with its launch and purpose, the experience with YACOG helped inform the vision for what would later become UnitiSocial — a more inclusive, community-wide network that reflects not only connection but fellowship, faith, and mutual support.
While UnitiSocial and YACOG represent modern embodiments of community connection, the Church of God community we serve has its roots in a mid-20th century movement focused on restoring the beliefs and practices of first-century Christianity. This tradition emphasizes Sabbath observance, the biblical Holy Days, and a commitment to living according to Scripture.
Over the decades, this movement grew into a global fellowship spanning multiple continents, with congregations gathering each week and coming together for annual festivals like the Feast of Tabernacles. Today, this community includes several organizations united by shared beliefs and a common heritage.
This rich history of faith-centered community and outreach provides the spiritual heritage from which modern initiatives like UnitiSocial draw inspiration: that believers should be united with one another, grounded in shared belief, and equipped to build meaningful fellowship in every season of life.
In the years since YACOG’s initial adoption by Church of God young adults, social media has become a dominant force in how people communicate — for better and for worse. Many platforms, though powerful, prioritize advertising, data harvesting, and engagement metrics that undermine authentic relationships and community care.
UnitiSocial’s founders recognized this challenge and envisioned a space that would:
UnitiSocial is more than an application — it is a continuation of a long tradition of Church of God believers seeking to stay connected in truth, love, and shared discipleship. What began with fellowship in person and early platforms like YACOG now evolves into a place where the entire community can belong, share, support, and grow together.
We invite you to be part of this ongoing story as we build something that reflects both our heritage and our collective future.
