Bethany Boatswain is a student at Oakwood University and a participant in the United Student Movement Fellows program. Originally from New York, she is rooted in her home church, Sharon Seventh-day Adventist Church.

With a heart for both worship and community, Bethany launched the Together in Harmony initiative with the vision of bringing current students, alumni, churches, and prospective students together through a shared worship experience. Through United in His Presence, she hopes to create spaces where young people can genuinely encounter God while experiencing the spirit of unity that defines the Oakwood community.

Her passion is to strengthen the connection between Oakwood University and churches across the New York area, reminding others that worship has the power to bring believers together in one faith, one sound, and one accord.
