About UDP
In the fall of 2008, Pastor Chris, who is also a songwriter, had the vision to form a group of young believers who were adamant about expressing praises to God through song. This group of young people came to be called UNDIGNIFIED PRAISE, based on an episode in the life of King David found in 2 Samuel 6:22.
Undignified Praise, better known as UDP, is comprised of men and women whose purpose and priority is to bring glory to God in song, and most of all, in lifestyle. UDP is honored and humbled to be a group of young people who have survived great turmoil and succeeded against all odds. Some have graduated college, others have gotten married and started their own families, and others are involved in full-time ministry.
In 2012, Pastor Chris and UDP released their debut EP entitled “Redeemed”. In 2019, their first full-length project “Encounter” was released. In January 2022, they released a new single entitled “Til Its Good”.
It is the primary goal of UDP to be an example to all people, more specifically young people, of the great things God can do in and with the lives of willing vessels. Armed with the word of God, powerful testimonies, and unique giftedness, UDP not only leads people into God's presence through worship but also continues to chase after the heart of God daily.
