The band was originally formed in 1998, by close friends from within the youth ministry called "Powerhouse Youth", led by Hillsong Youth Pastors Phil and Lucinda Dooley for many years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://guardianlv.com/2014/10/hillsong-united-led-gma-dove-awards-with-five-wins-video/|title=Hillsong United Led GMA Dove Awards With Five Wins [Video]|first=Cherese|last=Jackson|work=Guardian Liberty Voice|access-date=24 January 2016}}</ref> As the house band for the Powerhouse meetings, the group played original songs and rearranged popular radio tunes at their weekly meeting for local youth aged 16–25. Band members sometimes also contributed to the larger interdenominational ministry [[Youth Alive Australia]] and its albums. Most members of the band also attended Hillsong Church services.
 
After several live albums in the 2000s, Hillsong United released their first full studio album ''All of the Above'' in 2007.<ref name=":1" />
Powerhouse grew and split in the mid 1990s into two youth groups: Powerhouse (aged 18–25) and Wildlife (12–17). [[Reuben Morgan]], assisted by guitarist Marcus Beaumont and vocalist/songwriter Tanya Riches, administrated the band and music for Powerhouse and all United nights, albums and events until 2003, when the role was passed on to Joel Houston. The three performed with the 18–25's Powerhouse band that also included Mark Stevens, Nigel Hendroff, Peter King and Raymond Badham. For the older group, Peter King was the main piano player and music director, with guitarist Nigel Hendroff later taking the music directing role. In the younger ministry Wildlife, it was former Channel V Leg-Up competition-winning Able band boys Joel Houston and [[Marty Sampson]], with Able band's [[Luke Munns]] and [[Michael Guy Chislett]] being the main drummer and guitarist respectively, while Joel Houston played bass. They were initially trained by Russell Fragar. Marty Sampson, Holly Dawson, Mark Stevens, Katrina Peoples, Michelle Fragar, Tanya Riches and Bec Mesiti were some of the original key vocalists. In late 1997, the team made a huge impact at their youth ministry's summer camp. On returning from the camp, the youth ministries of Hillsong Church decided to join together monthly, calling these meetings the "UNITED" Nights.{{citation needed|date=April 2016}}
 
The band released their third studio album [[Zion (Hillsong United album)|''Zion'']] in February 2013. The album debuted at No. 5 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] and topped ''Billboard'''s [[Top Christian Albums]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Blair |first1=Leonardo |last2=Reporter |first2=Senior |title=Hillsong Church's Zion Album Debuts at #5 on Billboard 200 |url=https://www.christianpost.com/news/hillsong-churchs-zion-album-debuts-at-5-on-billboard-200.html |website=www.christianpost.com |access-date=18 April 2024 |language=en |date=8 March 2013}}</ref> The album features "[[Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)]]", which has been certified 4× Platinum in the U.S.<ref>{{cite web |title=Gold & Platinum |url=https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&ar=Hillsong+United&ti=Oceans&format=Single&type=#search_section |website=RIAA |access-date=18 April 2024}}</ref> and was awarded Top Christian Song at the 2016 [[Billboard Music Awards|''Billboard'' Music Awards]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Staff Writer |title=Hillsong United Take Home Two Billboard Music Awards |url=https://themusic.com.au/news/hillsong-united-take-home-two-billboard-music-awards/k-6Eh4aJiIs/24-05-16 |website=The Music |access-date=18 April 2024 |language=en}}</ref>
[[Darlene Zschech]] suggested to Reuben Morgan that the youth band make an album in 1998 after so many songs were written in the youth ministry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.breathecast.com/articles/hillsong-united-zion-album-review-christian-music-news-inspirational-rock-band-5731/|title=Hillsong United 'Zion' Album Review|work=BREATHEcast|access-date=24 January 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/reviews/2015/05/26/hill-song-united-empires-listen-up-album-of-the-week/27773687/|title=Album of the week: Hillsong United|last=Mansfield|first=Brian|date=26 May 2015|work=[[USA Today]]|access-date=27 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150526220929/https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/reviews/2015/05/26/hill-song-united-empires-listen-up-album-of-the-week/27773687/|archive-date=26 May 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>
As a result, the EP ''One'' was recorded by a new band. ''Everyday'' was recorded in 1999 and packaged with the [[Hillsong Worship]] annual album. Both achieved Gold sales status in Australia. The band continued to release an album each year, rebranding as Hillsong United. In 2002, after Reuben Morgan stepped down as co-worship leader of the band, [[Joel Houston]], the eldest son of the church's senior pastor [[Brian Houston (pastor)|Brian Houston]], and Marty Sampson led the group together.{{citation needed|date=April 2016}}

As such, the line up changes on a regular basis due to the volunteers' needs and the needs of the church; that is to say, due to the naturally resultant "churn". Luke Munns, the drummer for the band from 1998 through 2006, played on seven live recordings before transitioning from the drums to front the rock and indie band LUKAS. Sampson stepped down as one of the main leaders of the band following his marriage in November 2006. He contributed two more songs with United—"Devotion", which he wrote and sang, and "Saviour King", which he wrote with Mia Fieldes—before officially stepping down. These songs were part of the 2007 release ''[[All of the Above (Hillsong United album)|All of the Above]]''. Current members of the Hillsong United band include Joel Houston, Jonathon Douglass (J.D.), Jadwin "Jad" Gillies, Matt Crocker, Taya Smith, Dylan Thomas (on rhythm guitar), Timon Klein (on lead guitar), Peter James & Benjamin Tennikoff (on keyboards), Adam Crosariol (on bass guitar), and Simon Kobler (on drums).{{citation needed|date=April 2016}}
 
The annual Hillsong United CD and DVD was recorded for many years during the Hillsong youth ministry's October conference ''Encounterfest'', and then released in the first quarter of the following year. The 2007 album ''All of the Above'' was the first album to be fully studio recorded.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.breathecast.com/articles/hillsong-united-announce-new-record-the-white-album-the-remix-project-13627/|title=Hillsong United Announce New Record 'The White Album [the remix project]' is Coming Soon|work=BREATHEcast|access-date=24 January 2016}}</ref> The band has toured in a number of countries, leading worship in various places and has an international influence.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/10/us/hillsong-megachurch-with-a-beat-lures-a-young-flock.html|title=Megachurch With a Beat Lures a Young Flock|last=Paulson|first=Michael|date=9 September 2014|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=27 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140910072010/https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/10/us/hillsong-megachurch-with-a-beat-lures-a-young-flock.html|archive-date=10 September 2014|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/05/australia-hillsong-church-influence_n_4214660.html|title=Australia's Hillsong Church Has Astonishingly Powerful Global Influence|date=5 November 2013|work=[[HuffPost|The Huffington Post]]|access-date=24 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201227191233/https://www.huffpost.com/entry/australia-hillsong-church-influence_n_4214660|archive-date=27 December 2020|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>Tom Wagner, Anna Nekola "Congregational Music-Making and Community in a Mediated Age", Ashgate Publishing, 2015, page 170</ref> The official UNITED logo was designed by Munns in 2002 for ''[[To the Ends of the Earth (album)|To the Ends of the Earth]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thelakehausstudios.com/central-coast-website-design|title=UNITED logo|website=The Lakehaus Studios|access-date=28 January 2016}}</ref>
