Rashad Gibson

Rashad is the founder of United America. His passion is to see individuals make a personal commitment to Jesus Christ and to see liberty restored to the United States while being reestablished in its Judeo-Christian values. A focal aspect of seeing liberty reestablished is investing in the next generation by planting Christian schools and training leaders to have the appropriate tools to cultivate, nurture, and grow succeeding generations.

Rashad holds a Bachelor of Science in Religion, Master of Arts in Religion (Emphasizing in Church-planting and Evangelism), and is currently completing his Ph.D. in Christian Leadership at Liberty University. The title of his dissertation is “A Descriptive Study Exploring the Relationship Between Religious and Civil Liberty and What Role Church Leaders Have in Upholding Them.” He is set to graduate in the summer/fall of 2024. Rashad was ordained by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in 2011 and served in various pastoral roles in New Jersey and Delaware. Rashad is also an Op-Ed contributor to The Western Journal.
