About Me
Generation Unleashed hails from the great Northwest’s city of Portland, Oregon. Sonically, the guitar-driven group, often compared to Hillsong United, is known for their passionate songwriting style, intimate worship moments and aggressive, loud musical stylings.
More than a band, GU represents a movement that annually hosts over 8,000 teenagers to their worship and lifestyle conference held in January and February, making the gathering one of the nation’s largest of its kind. Spearheaded by pastor Doug Lasit and worship leaders Donna Lasit, Jeremy Scott and Jordan Filip; Generation Unleashed is an outreach of Portland’s City Bible Church which impacts the city at 3 separate church sites in addition to a weekly service with Portland State University.
Created in 1993 out of a smaller youth conference called "Conquest,” Generation Unleashed has since developed from those early days of meeting in a church gymnasium to two conferences that host over 8,000 students each year. The conferences consist of general sessions and breakout sessions with age specific workshops for junior high, high school, college and youth pastors. The aim of the GU conferences is to connect with youth and youth leaders alike - guiding them through an inspiring and refreshing worship experience.
Generation Unleashed’s ministry expands beyond their annual conferences. GU leads weekly “Worship Workshops” that teach students the foundation of worship ministry. The “Worship Workshops” help these young musicians and worship leaders learn how to lead worship, write set lists and gives instruction on how to avoid the typical pitfalls of a worship service.
Generation Unleashed is now set to broaden the call of their worship movement to reach beyond conferences and weekly services and into hands of listeners everywhere with the release of their self-titled project. Marking the group’s first-ever national release, this debut project, recorded live, features 14 innovative worship tracks including an incredible new interpretation of the Maranatha! Music classic, "I Love You Lord” and powerful worship anthems "Always," "Saved My Soul" and "All Things Through Christ." At the production helm, Adam Watts and Andy Dodd, best known for their work on Jeremy Camp, High School Musical, and the Hannah Montana albums, receive credit for mixing Generation Unleashed.
