 Hillsong United [launched in 1998], the original group, began when the members were all relatively young, because it was started as part of the youth ministry at Hillsong Church.As they evolved and started to mature, have families of their own, and take on adulthood, many people at the church felt that there was a need for a new group that would aim its message at younger people with a stimulating new sound.Hillsong Young & Free released their first live album, "We Are Young & Free", on 1 October 2013.
