Tonya Prewett is the founder and visionary of UniteUS - a movement of college students united to lift the name of Jesus with a mission to see students experience salvation, find freedom, and make connections that can help them build and sustain their faith.
The vision for Unite started when Tonya was mentoring college students battling unimaginable pain and anxiety. She felt a need to begin leading prayer on Auburn University’s campus, which led to a vision of thousands of students gathered in an arena worshiping together.
On September 12, 2023, that vision was realized as thousands of students gathered to worship at Neville Arena for Unite Auburn. Following the event, Tonya felt God say that this movement will spread quickly. Unite Auburn. Unite other college campuses. Unite the nation.
Since Unite Auburn, Unite has seen over 69,000 college students gather across eleven universities. Through these gatherings, thousands of students have made decisions to follow Jesus and celebrate their new commitment to Him through water baptism. In a nation that suffers from so much darkness, division, and mental health issues, Unite seeks to bring unity and hope to this generation. Tonya has been married to, Chad Prewett, Auburn University Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach, for over 30 years. She has three daughters, Madison, a finalist on Season 24 of ABC’s The Bachelor as well as a published author, podcast host, and speaker, Mallory, a wedding event planner and graduate of Auburn University, and Mary Mykal, a student at Samford University.
Tonya has a deep passion for college students and leads a small group of college girls at Auburn University. Both Chad and Tonya attend Church of the Highlands in Auburn, Alabama where they serve in a variety of roles. They love family, church community, and basketball.
