The heartbeat of Ruwa began in 2019, when a small group of youth worship teams from different churches came together (DCFC, CCCFC, NLGC) — not to perform, but to worship Jesus as one body. There was no spotlight — just a shared hunger to lift high the name of Jesus. That night, something beautiful was born: unity in worship that transcended church walls.

 

In 2024, Ruwa hosted a powerful worship night featuring five youth worship teams from across the Plano and Frisco areas. More than 100 students, volunteers, and church leaders came together in a night of unified worship, prayer, and testimony.

In 2025, Ruwa expands Ruwa Worship Nights to two nights and six youth worship bands, including participation from various local ethnic churches, in hopes of fostering deeper interconnection among the broader body of Christ. This growth, in both scale and diversity, reflects our continued mission to bridge cultures and generations through worship, ultimately creating a space where all youth can unite under one name: Jesus.

​

This year, Ruwa Summer Night was introduced in August — a sacred evening of reflection and worship. It marks a meaningful moment between the end of summer and the beginning of a new school year, as students pause to prepare their hearts and refocus their lives on Christ. More than just an event, it’s a time to be still, to remember God’s faithfulness, and to step into a new season with renewed purpose and surrender.

​

In the fall, Ruwa also launched the first semester of Ruwa Music School, beginning with Acoustic Guitar and Drums classes hosted at local churches. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and Christ-centered learning, the program equips young musicians not just to play skillfully, but to serve humbly — raising a new generation of worshipers who lead with both excellence and heart.
